  Check the SU Definition: Verify the definition of the Stock Unit you are trying to manipulate. Ensure that you are not trying to treat a master SU as a regular SU.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling master SUs and the operations that can be performed on them.
