• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IW843 - Storage location &1 is HU administered. ?

  The SAP error message IW843 indicates that the storage location specified in the message is managed using Handling Units (HUs). This means that the system expects that all inventory movements and transactions for this storage location will involve handling units, which are used to manage and track physical items in a more organized manner.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform an operation (such as goods movement, stock transfer, or inventory management) on a storage location that is configured to use Handling Units, but the operation does not comply with the handling unit management requirements. This could happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Trying to post goods movements without specifying a handling unit.
  Attempting to perform inventory transactions that are not compatible with handling unit management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IW843 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Use Handling Units: Ensure that you are using handling units for all transactions related to the specified storage location. This means you need to create or specify handling units when performing goods movements or inventory transactions.

  Review Transaction: If you are using a transaction that does not support handling units, consider using a different transaction that is compatible with handling unit management.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on handling unit management and the specific transactions you are trying to perform.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in inventory management are trained on how to work with handling units, including how to create, manage, and use them in transactions.
