  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDPDAMPO223 Handling unit & is still assigned to a material planning object typically indicates that a handling unit (HU) is still linked to a material planning object, such as a production order, purchase order, or sales order. This can prevent certain operations from being performed on the handling unit, such as deletion or modification.

  Solution:
  
  Check Assignments: Use transaction codes like HU02 (Handling Unit Display) or HU03 (Handling Unit Change) to check the current assignments of the handling unit. Identify which material planning object it is linked to.
  Complete Processes: If the handling unit is part of an ongoing process (e.g., a delivery), ensure that the process is completed. This may involve confirming a production order or completing a delivery.
