• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY802 - Quantity adjustment by &1 to &2 not possible; &3 HUs exist for item ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY802 indicates that there is an issue with adjusting the quantity of handling units (HUs) in a delivery. The message specifically states that a quantity adjustment from &1 to &2 is not possible because there are &3 handling units (HUs) associated with the item in question.
  Cause:
  
  
  Existing Handling Units: The primary cause of this error is that there are already handling units (HUs) created for the item in the delivery. The system does not allow a quantity adjustment if HUs exist because the HUs are tied to specific quantities and cannot be easily modified without affecting the integrity of the inventory.
  
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The requested quantity adjustment may not match the total quantity of the existing HUs. For example, if you are trying to reduce the quantity but there are HUs that exceed the new quantity, the system will prevent this adjustment.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing HUs: Review the handling units associated with the delivery item. You can do this by navigating to the handling unit management screen in SAP and checking the details of the HUs linked to the delivery.
  
  
  Adjust HUs First: If you need to adjust the quantity, you may need to first adjust or remove the existing handling units. This can involve:
  
  Splitting the HUs if you need to keep some of them while adjusting the quantity.
  Deleting HUs if they are no longer needed (ensure this is in line with your business processes).
  
  
  
  Re-evaluate Quantity Adjustment: After handling the HUs, you can then attempt to adjust the quantity again. Ensure that the new quantity aligns with the total quantity of HUs you have after any adjustments.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to manage HUs or the implications of adjusting them, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Unit Management: Familiarize yourself with the handling unit management processes in SAP, as they are crucial for managing inventory effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to handling units and deliveries in the system.
