• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IEN236 - Storage location &1 managed for handling units ?

  The SAP error message IEN236 indicates that a storage location is managed for handling units, but the system is unable to process the operation you are trying to perform. This typically occurs in scenarios involving inventory management, warehouse management, or handling unit management where the handling unit (HU) functionality is enabled for a specific storage location.
  Cause:
  
  Handling Unit Management: The storage location in question is set up to manage handling units, which means that all inventory movements and transactions must consider the handling units associated with the materials in that location.
  Incorrect Transaction: You may be trying to perform a transaction that is not compatible with handling unit management, such as moving stock without specifying the handling unit.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not aligned with the handling unit management processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Handling Units: Ensure that you are using handling units in your transactions. If you are trying to move stock, make sure to specify the handling unit associated with the stock.
  Check Transaction Type: Verify that the transaction you are attempting to perform is appropriate for a storage location that manages handling units. If necessary, switch to a different storage location that does not manage handling units for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the storage location in question. Ensure that the handling unit management settings are correctly configured according to your business processes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for handling unit management to understand the requirements and limitations associated with your specific scenario.
  
  Related Information:
