• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HUFUNCTIONS013 - Total volume &1 not the same as own volume &2 &3 with closed packaging ?

  The SAP error message HUFUNCTIONS013 indicates a discrepancy between the total volume of a handling unit (HU) and the volume calculated based on the individual items contained within that handling unit. Specifically, the message states that the total volume (&1) does not match the own volume (&2) and the volume unit (&3) of the handling unit, and this occurs when the packaging is closed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Volume Mismatch: The total volume of the handling unit does not match the sum of the volumes of the items packed within it. This can happen if:
  
  The volume of the items was incorrectly entered or calculated.
  The handling unit was modified after the items were packed, leading to inconsistencies.
  The handling unit was created with incorrect volume data.
  
  
  
  Closed Packaging: The error specifically mentions "closed packaging," which means that the handling unit is in a state where no further modifications can be made. This can prevent adjustments to the volume.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Item Volumes: Verify the volume of each item that is packed in the handling unit. Ensure that the sum of these volumes matches the total volume of the handling unit.
  
  
  Adjust Handling Unit: If the handling unit is still in a state where it can be modified (i.e., not fully closed), you can adjust the volume of the handling unit to match the total volume of the items.
  
  
  Repack the Handling Unit: If the handling unit is closed and cannot be modified, you may need to create a new handling unit with the correct volume or repack the items into a new handling unit.
  
  
  Review Packaging Specifications: Ensure that the packaging specifications and settings in the system are correctly defined. This includes checking the volume settings for the packaging materials used.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling unit management and volume calculations.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP, handling units are used to manage the logistics of packaging and shipping items. Each handling unit can have its own volume, weight, and dimensions.
  Volume Calculation: The volume of items can be defined in the material master data. Ensure that the volume is correctly maintained for all materials involved.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address known issues related to handling units and volume discrepancies.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide further assistance based on your specific system configuration and business processes.
