Specifically, the error states that a split after a batch split is only allowed for handling units that have serial number requirements.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  
  Batch Split: You are trying to perform a split operation on a handling unit (HU) that has already undergone a batch split, but the handling unit does not meet the criteria for serial number requirements.
  
  
  Serial Number Management: The handling unit may not be configured to manage serial numbers, or the serial number management settings are not correctly applied to the handling unit.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the warehouse management settings that prevent the split operation from being executed as intended.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the handling unit (HU) is configured to manage serial numbers. You can do this by checking the material master data and the handling unit type settings.
  
  
  
  Review Batch Management Settings:

  Serial Number Assignment:
  
  If the handling unit is supposed to have serial numbers, ensure that the serial numbers are correctly assigned to the handling unit before attempting to perform the split.
  
  
  
  Use Correct HU Types:
  
  Make sure you are using the correct handling unit types that support the operations you are trying to perform. Some HU types may have restrictions on splitting after a batch split.
