• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LESI016 - Transfer orders for nested HUs cannot be confirmed with differences ?

  The SAP error message LESI016 indicates that there is an issue with confirming transfer orders for nested Handling Units (HUs) when there are differences in quantities. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics execution in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to confirm a transfer order that involves nested handling units, and there is a discrepancy between the expected quantity and the actual quantity being confirmed. Nested handling units are those that contain other handling units, and the system requires that the quantities match exactly for confirmation to proceed.
  Possible Causes Include:
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The quantity of items in the nested handling unit does not match the quantity specified in the transfer order.
  Incorrect Handling Unit Structure: The structure of the handling units may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the warehouse management module that are not aligned with the handling unit management settings.
  User Error: The user may have incorrectly entered quantities during the confirmation process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the LESI016 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transfer Order Details:
  
  Review the transfer order and the associated handling units to ensure that the quantities match.
  Verify the structure of the nested handling units to ensure they are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Adjust Quantities:
  
  If there is a discrepancy, adjust the quantities in the transfer order or the handling units as necessary to ensure they match.
  
  
  
  Confirm Handling Units Individually:
  
  If possible, confirm the handling units individually rather than as nested units to isolate the issue.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Warehouse Management (WM) and Handling Unit Management (HUM) modules to ensure they are set up correctly for nested handling units.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling nested HUs and transfer order confirmations.
