• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L9610 - Transfer posting with WM only possible if both storage locs subject to HU ?

  The SAP error message L9610 indicates that a transfer posting operation in the Warehouse Management (WM) module can only be performed if both storage locations involved in the transfer are subject to Handling Units (HUs). This error typically arises when you attempt to execute a transfer posting between two storage locations, and at least one of those locations is not configured to use HUs.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Location Configuration: One or both of the storage locations involved in the transfer posting are not set up to handle Handling Units. This means that the system does not recognize them as capable of managing HUs.
  Transfer Posting Type: The type of transfer posting being executed may require both storage locations to be HU-managed, which is not the case here.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage locations involved in the transfer posting.
  Ensure that both storage locations are set to be HU-managed. This can be done in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) under:
  
  Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Master Data > Define Storage Locations.
  
  
  Verify that the "HU-managed" checkbox is selected for both storage locations.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transfer Posting Process:
  
  If it is not feasible to make both storage locations HU-managed, consider using a different transfer posting method that does not require HUs.
  Alternatively, you can perform the transfer posting in two steps: first, transfer the stock to a temporary storage location that is HU-managed, and then transfer it to the final destination.
  
  
  
  Review Transfer Posting Document:
  
  Check the transfer posting document to ensure that it is correctly set up and that the items being transferred are compatible with the storage locations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may be required for your particular implementation.
