  The SAP error message HUINV024 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the expected and actual physical counts of Handling Units (HUs) in the system. Specifically, it means that the system did not count a lower-level Handling Unit (HU) that physically exists in the warehouse.
  Cause:
  
  Physical Inventory Discrepancy: The system expects a certain number of HUs based on the inventory records, but the physical count does not match.

  Recount HUs: If discrepancies are found, recount the HUs and update the system accordingly. You may need to adjust the inventory records to reflect the actual physical count.
