  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_API202 Item quantity &1 number of HUs &2; must be identical typically occurs in the context of handling unit (HU) management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates a mismatch between the quantity of items being processed and the number of handling units (HUs) that are associated with those items.
  Cause:
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the total quantity of items being processed does not match the total quantity represented by the handling units. For example, if you are trying to process 10 units of an item but only have 8 HUs that contain those items, this error will be triggered.
  Incorrect HU Assignment: HUs may not be correctly assigned to the items, leading to discrepancies in the expected quantities.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation or processing of deliveries can lead to mismatches.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the EWM system that affect how quantities and HUs are managed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Item and HU Quantities: Check the quantities of items and the number of HUs being processed. Ensure that the total quantity of items matches the total quantity represented by the HUs.
  Adjust HUs: If there are discrepancies, you may need to adjust the handling units. This could involve splitting or combining HUs to ensure that the quantities match.
  Recreate HUs: If the HUs are incorrectly assigned, consider recreating them or reassigning them to the correct items.
  Check Delivery Document: Review the delivery document to ensure that all items and HUs are correctly listed and that there are no missing or extra entries.
  Consult SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling units and delivery processing in EWM.
  System Configuration Review: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the system configuration settings related to HU management and item handling.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI for processing deliveries and /SCWM/HU for handling unit management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for potential bug fixes or patches.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your EWM system, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect HU processing.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in warehouse operations are trained on proper HU management and delivery processing to minimize errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that item quantities and handling units are correctly aligned in your SAP EWM system.
