This error indicates that the system is trying to process a handling unit that has not been created or is not available in the system.

  Solution:
  
  Create the Handling Unit: Ensure that the handling unit is created before attempting to process it. You can create a handling unit using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., HUMO for handling unit management).
  Check HU Status: Verify the status of the handling unit in the system. If it exists but is not in the correct status, you may need to update or change its status.
