• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HUDIALOG183 - The selected HU contains items that do not match those in the document ?

  The SAP error message HUDIALOG183 indicates that there is a mismatch between the handling unit (HU) you are trying to process and the items listed in the associated document (such as a delivery or an order). This error typically arises during processes like goods receipt, goods issue, or when trying to confirm a handling unit.
  Cause:
  
  
  Item Mismatch: The handling unit contains items that are not present in the document you are working with. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect items being packed into the handling unit.
  Changes made to the document after the handling unit was created.
  The handling unit being created from a different document than the one you are trying to process.
  
  
  
  Quantity Discrepancy: The quantities of items in the handling unit may not match the quantities specified in the document.
  
  
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for the processing of the handling unit.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Handling Unit Contents: Check the contents of the handling unit to ensure that all items match those in the document. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction code HU02 (Display Handling Unit) to view the details of the handling unit.
  Comparing the items and quantities in the handling unit with those in the document.
  
  
  
  Correct the Handling Unit: If there are discrepancies, you may need to:
  
  Adjust the contents of the handling unit by removing or adding items as necessary.
  Repack the handling unit if it was incorrectly packed.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the document you are working with is in a status that allows for processing. If the document is blocked or in a status that prevents further actions, you may need to resolve those issues first.
  
  
  Recreate the Handling Unit: If the handling unit is significantly mismatched, it may be easier to create a new handling unit that correctly reflects the items in the document.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to handling units and the error message.
