• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LEDSP004 - Splits using HU '&1' of type '&2' are not allowed ?

  The SAP error message LEDSP004 indicates that there is an issue with handling Handling Units (HUs) in the context of splitting. Specifically, it states that splits using a particular Handling Unit (HU) of a specified type are not allowed. This error typically arises in the context of logistics processes, such as during goods movements, deliveries, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Handling Unit Type Restrictions: The type of Handling Unit you are trying to split may have restrictions that prevent it from being split. For example, certain types of HUs may be designated as non-splittable due to business rules or configuration settings.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured in such a way that it does not allow splits for specific Handling Unit types. This could be due to settings in the Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) modules.
  Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incorrect data associated with the Handling Unit that prevents the split operation from being executed.
  Status of the Handling Unit: The current status of the Handling Unit may not allow for splitting. For example, if the HU is already in a process that does not permit changes, such as being part of a delivery that is already confirmed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Handling Unit Type: Review the type of Handling Unit you are trying to split. Ensure that it is configured to allow splits. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to verify the settings.
  Review Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to Handling Units. Look for any settings that specify whether certain types of HUs can be split.
  Verify HU Status: Check the status of the Handling Unit. If it is in a state that does not allow splitting, you may need to change its status or complete the current process before attempting to split it.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on Handling Unit management and splitting rules.
  Error Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about why the split is not allowed.

  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform operations on Handling Units, as restrictions may also arise from user roles.
