• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CORE073 - Non-secure HU &1 is moved to a secure area in storage type &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CORE073 indicates that a non-secure Handling Unit (HU) is being moved to a secure area in a storage type. This situation typically arises in the context of warehouse management, particularly when dealing with secure and non-secure storage areas.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type you are trying to move the non-secure HU into is configured as a secure storage type. This means that only secure HUs are allowed in that area.
  Handling Unit Status: The HU in question is marked as non-secure, which means it does not meet the security requirements for the target storage type.
  Warehouse Management Settings: The warehouse management settings may enforce strict rules regarding the movement of HUs between secure and non-secure areas.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check HU Status: Verify the status of the Handling Unit. If it is indeed non-secure, you may need to either:
  
  Change the status of the HU to secure if it meets the necessary criteria.
  Move the HU to a non-secure storage type instead.
  
  
  
  Review Storage Type Configuration: Check the configuration of the storage types involved:
  
  Ensure that the storage type you are trying to move the HU into is correctly set up to accept only secure HUs.
  If necessary, adjust the configuration to allow non-secure HUs, but be cautious as this may have implications for security and compliance.
  
  
  
  Adjust Movement Logic: If the movement of non-secure HUs to secure areas is a common requirement, consider adjusting the movement logic in your warehouse management processes to handle such cases appropriately.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to secure and non-secure HUs.
