• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7459 - Partner storage location only if handling unit reqmt ?

  The SAP error message M7459 ("Partner storage location only if handling unit requirement") typically occurs in the context of inventory management and logistics when there is a mismatch in the handling unit requirements for a specific transaction. This error is often related to the configuration of the material master, the handling unit management settings, or the partner functions in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Handling Unit Requirement: The error indicates that the system expects a handling unit (HU) to be specified for the transaction, but it is not provided or is incorrectly configured.
  Partner Storage Location: The transaction may involve a partner storage location, which requires that handling units be used. If the handling unit requirement is not met, the error will be triggered.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the material master, storage location, or partner profiles that lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the material master is configured to require handling units if it is supposed to. This can be checked in the material master under the "Handling Unit" view.
  Verify that the handling unit management settings are correctly configured in the system.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Profiles:
  
  Check the partner profiles to ensure that the partner storage location is correctly set up and that it aligns with the handling unit requirements.
  Make sure that the partner functions are correctly defined and that they include the necessary handling unit information.
  
  
  
  Transaction Review:
  
  Review the specific transaction that triggered the error. Ensure that all required fields, especially those related to handling units and partner storage locations, are filled out correctly.
