• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY806 - Action not possible; transit handling units exist ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY806 Action not possible; transit handling units exist typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that there are transit handling units (HUs) associated with the delivery that prevent certain actions from being performed, such as deleting or changing the delivery.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of transit handling units that are linked to the delivery.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transit Handling Units:

  If they are still in transit, ensure that they are properly handled according to your warehouse processes.
  
  
  
  Review Delivery Status:
  
  Ensure that the delivery is in a status that allows for the action you are trying to perform. Some statuses may restrict certain actions.
