• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HUSELECT002 - Planned handling unit &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message HUSELECT002 indicates that a planned handling unit (HU) with the specified identifier already exists in the system. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create a new handling unit with an identifier that is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Handling Unit: The most common cause is that the handling unit you are trying to create has the same identifier as an existing one.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been a mistake in entering the handling unit number, leading to a conflict with an existing unit.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the system configuration may allow for certain handling unit types to overlap, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Handling Units: 
  
  Use transaction codes like HU02 (Display Handling Unit) or HU03 (Display Handling Unit with Details) to search for the existing handling unit using the identifier you are trying to create.
  If you find the handling unit, you can either use it or delete it if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Identifier: 
  
  If the handling unit you are trying to create is indeed new and should not conflict with existing ones, consider using a different identifier that does not already exist in the system.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: 
  
  If you believe the error is due to system configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review the handling unit management settings.
