  The SAP error message HUFUNCTIONS151 indicates that you are trying to create handling units (HUs) that have a status of "deleted." In SAP, handling units are used to manage and track the physical packaging of goods, and they have various statuses that determine their usability.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system does not allow the creation of handling units that are marked as deleted. This typically happens if:
  
  The handling unit you are trying to create is based on a reference to an existing handling unit that has been deleted.
  There is an attempt to create a new handling unit with a status that is not valid for creation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Handling Unit Status:
  
  Use transaction code HU02 (Display Handling Unit) to check the status of the handling unit you are trying to create or reference.
  Ensure that the handling unit is not marked as deleted.

  Review the Process:
  
  If you are using a process that automatically generates handling units (like during goods receipt or production), review the configuration and ensure that it does not reference deleted handling units.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there is any custom code or enhancements in your SAP system that might be affecting the handling unit creation process, review that code to ensure it is not causing the issue.
