  The SAP error message HUFUNCTIONS280 indicates that there is an issue with the handling unit (HU) in question. Specifically, it states that the last history entry for the handling unit (identified by &1) is not a material document. This typically means that the system is expecting a material document to be associated with the handling unit, but it is not found.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Material Document: The handling unit may not have been properly linked to a material document, or the material document may have been deleted or not created.

  Solution:
  
  Check HU History: Use transaction code HU03 (Display Handling Unit) to check the history of the handling unit. Look for the last entries and verify if there is a valid material document associated with it.
  Create Missing Document: If a material document is missing, you may need to create it or link the handling unit to an existing material document.
  Review HU Status: Ensure that the handling unit is in a valid status for the operation you are trying to perform. If necessary, change the status of the handling unit.
