  The SAP error message HUGENERAL030 indicates that you are trying to perform an operation involving Handling Units (HUs) in a storage location that contains stock information. The message suggests that you need to choose a non-HU storage location for the operation you are attempting.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in scenarios where:
  
  You are trying to move or process a Handling Unit (HU) in a storage location that is configured to manage stock at the HU level.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the storage location you are trying to use. Ensure that it is set up to handle stock at the HU level if that is your intention.

  When prompted to select a storage location, choose one that does not contain stock information related to HUs. This may involve changing the storage location in your transaction or process.
  
  
  
  Review Handling Unit Management Settings:
  
  If you are working with HUs, ensure that your handling unit management settings are correctly configured in the system. This includes checking the relevant settings in the material master and storage location master data.
