This error indicates that you are trying to cancel a material document that is associated with handling units, which is not allowed under certain conditions.

  Solution:
  
  Check Handling Units: Review the handling units associated with the material document. You can do this by using transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to display the handling units and their statuses.
  Unlink HUs: If possible, unlink or process the handling units before attempting to cancel the material document. This may involve completing any outstanding processes related to the HUs.
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the material document is in a status that allows for cancellation. If it has been fully processed, you may need to reverse the transactions instead of canceling.
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for cancellation. In some cases, you may need to use a different transaction to reverse the document instead of canceling it.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling units and material document cancellations in EWM.
