• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_API220 - HU container &1 is completed; no new HUs allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_API220 HU container &1 is completed; no new HUs allowed typically occurs in the context of handling Handling Units (HUs) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the specified Handling Unit (HU) has already been completed, meaning that it is no longer open for any further processing or modifications, such as adding new Handling Units to it.
  Cause:
  
  Completed Handling Unit: The primary cause of this error is that the Handling Unit (HU) you are trying to modify or add new HUs to has already been marked as completed in the system.
  Incorrect Process Flow: The process flow may not be followed correctly, leading to attempts to add HUs to a completed unit.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the system that restrict modifications to completed HUs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check HU Status: Verify the status of the Handling Unit in question. If it is indeed completed, you will not be able to add new HUs to it.
  Use a New HU: If you need to add more items, consider creating a new Handling Unit instead of trying to modify the completed one.
  Review Process Flow: Ensure that the process flow you are following is correct and that you are not attempting to add HUs at a stage where it is not allowed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling HUs to ensure compliance with the expected processes.
  System Configuration: If you believe that the system should allow modifications to completed HUs, consult with your SAP Basis or EWM configuration team to review the settings.
