This error typically arises when you attempt to pack items into handling units in a storage location that does not support handling units.
  Cause:

  Configuration Issues: The storage location may not be set up correctly in the system to allow for handling unit management.
  Material Master Settings: The material being packed may not be configured to allow packing into handling units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Configuration:
