• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HUSTOCK019 - Stock comparison based on a HU is only possible in WM storage locations ?

  The SAP error message HUSTOCK019 indicates that a stock comparison based on Handling Units (HUs) is only possible in Warehouse Management (WM) storage locations. This error typically arises when you attempt to perform a stock comparison for handling units in a storage location that is not configured for Warehouse Management.
  Cause:
  
  Non-WM Storage Location: The storage location you are trying to use for the stock comparison is not set up as a Warehouse Management storage location. In SAP, stock comparisons involving handling units are only valid in WM-managed storage locations.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be properly configured to recognize the storage location as a WM storage location.
  Handling Unit Management: The handling units may not be properly assigned or managed within the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Configuration:
  
  Verify that the storage location you are working with is indeed a WM-managed storage location. You can do this by checking the configuration in the SAP system.
  Go to the transaction code SPRO and navigate to:
  Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Define Warehouse Management Storage Locations
  
  Ensure that the storage location is set up correctly for WM.
  
  
  
  Use a WM Storage Location:
  
  If the storage location is not WM-managed, you will need to either perform the stock comparison in a WM-managed storage location or convert the storage location to a WM-managed one if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Handling Unit Management:
  
  Ensure that the handling units are correctly created and managed. You can check the handling unit status and details using transaction HU02 (Display Handling Unit).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling units and warehouse management processes.
