• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CCHECK894 - Handling units either not empty or its moved ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CCHECK894 typically indicates that there is an issue with handling units (HUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error occurs when you attempt to perform an operation on a handling unit that is either not empty or has been moved, which is not allowed for the operation you are trying to execute.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Empty Handling Unit: The handling unit you are trying to process still contains stock or items. Certain operations, such as deconsolidation or removal, require the handling unit to be empty.
  Moved Handling Unit: The handling unit may have been moved to a different location or status, making it unavailable for the operation you are attempting.
  Incorrect Status: The handling unit may be in a status that does not allow the operation you are trying to perform (e.g., it may be locked or in a different process).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Handling Unit Contents: Verify if the handling unit is empty. If it contains stock, you will need to either remove the stock or complete the necessary processes to empty the handling unit.
  Review Movement History: Check the movement history of the handling unit to see if it has been moved recently. If it has been moved, ensure that you are working with the correct handling unit in the correct location.
  Change Status: If the handling unit is in a status that prevents the operation, you may need to change its status or complete any pending processes before proceeding.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM to check the status and contents of the handling unit. For example, you can use /SCWM/HU to display handling unit details.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling units and the operations you are trying to perform.
  
  Related Information:
