  The SAP error message /SCWM/DIST_EQUIP012 Handling unit &1 has not been loaded yet typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics execution within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that a handling unit (HU) is being referenced for a process (like a delivery or transfer) but has not yet been loaded onto a transport vehicle or has not been processed in a way that makes it available for the intended operation.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Loading Process: The handling unit has not been physically loaded onto the transport vehicle, or the loading process has not been completed in the system.
  Incorrect Sequence of Operations: The operation being attempted (e.g., confirming a delivery) is being executed before the handling unit has been properly loaded.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM that are not aligned with the expected processes for handling units and loading.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Loading Status: Verify the loading status of the handling unit in the system. Ensure that it has been loaded onto the transport vehicle.
  Complete Loading Process: If the handling unit is not loaded, complete the loading process in the system. This may involve:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction for loading handling units.
  Confirming the loading of the handling unit onto the transport vehicle.
  
  
  Review Process Flow: Ensure that the sequence of operations is correct. Make sure that the handling unit is processed in the correct order (e.g., it should be loaded before attempting to confirm delivery).
  Check for Errors in Previous Steps: Look for any errors or issues in the previous steps of the process that may have prevented the handling unit from being loaded.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling units and loading processes in EWM.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI for picking and /SCWM/LOAD for loading handling units.
