• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GM151 - GR for TCD Inbound Delivery only allowed with HUs ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM151 indicates that a Goods Receipt (GR) for a Transportation Control Document (TCD) Inbound Delivery is only allowed when Handling Units (HUs) are involved. This error typically arises in the context of warehouse management and logistics processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  Handling Units Requirement: The system is configured to require Handling Units for the specific type of inbound delivery you are trying to process. This means that the inbound delivery must be associated with HUs to proceed with the Goods Receipt.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the EWM system may enforce that certain types of deliveries (like TCD) must always be processed with HUs.
  Delivery Document: The inbound delivery document you are trying to process may not have any associated HUs, or the HUs may not be properly defined or assigned.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Handling Units: Ensure that the inbound delivery you are trying to process has associated Handling Units. You can do this by checking the inbound delivery document in the system.
  Create Handling Units: If there are no HUs associated with the delivery, you will need to create them. This can typically be done in the EWM system by using the appropriate transaction codes or through the user interface.
  Review Configuration: If you believe that HUs should not be mandatory for this type of delivery, review the configuration settings in the EWM system. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to adjust the settings if necessary.
  Use Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction for processing the GR. If the transaction is not designed to handle HUs, you may need to switch to a different transaction that does.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on handling HUs and processing inbound deliveries.
  
  Related Information:
