  The SAP error message L3412 indicates that there is an issue with handling units (HUs) during a transportation or goods movement process. Specifically, it states that handling units can only be transported in a quantity of 1 and in the base unit of measure. This error typically arises in scenarios involving the handling of materials that are packed into handling units, such as pallets or boxes.
  Cause:
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The system is trying to process a handling unit with a quantity greater than 1, which is not allowed for certain operations.
  Unit of Measure Issues: The handling unit may not be in the base unit of measure defined for the material, leading to a conflict.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system for handling units may not allow for the transportation of multiple units or may not be set up correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Handling Unit Quantity: Ensure that you are trying to transport only one handling unit at a time. If you need to transport multiple units, you may need to do so in separate transactions.
  Verify Unit of Measure: Confirm that the handling unit is in the correct base unit of measure. You can check the material master data to ensure that the handling unit is defined correctly.
  Review Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, review the handling unit management settings in the SAP system to ensure they are set up correctly for your business processes.
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction code for handling units. For example, if you are using a transaction that does not support handling units, you may encounter this error.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling units and their configuration.
