This error indicates that the system could not find any handling units that meet the criteria for the operation you are trying to perform, such as changing the status, quantity, or other attributes of the handling units.
  Causes:
  
  No Selected Handling Units: The most straightforward cause is that there are no handling units selected for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you are using may not match any existing handling units. This could be due to filters applied in the selection screen.

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify the handling units. Consult with your SAP security team if needed.
