  Adjust Packaging Configuration: If necessary, adjust the packaging configuration to accommodate the height of the item. This may involve creating a new packaging material with a higher height limit or modifying the existing one.
  Repack the Item: If the item cannot fit into the assigned package due to height restrictions, consider repacking it into a different package that meets the height requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on managing packaging and handling units in your version of SAP SCM.
