  The SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT007 indicates that a Handling Unit (HU) contains items that do not have an outbound delivery reference. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics processes, particularly when trying to perform goods movements or post goods issues for handling units that are expected to be linked to outbound deliveries.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Outbound Delivery Reference: The items within the handling unit are not associated with any outbound delivery. This can happen if the items were not properly picked or if the outbound delivery was not created or linked correctly.
  Incorrect Handling Unit Configuration: The handling unit may have been created without the necessary references to the outbound delivery.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been mistakes during the data entry process, leading to items being added to the handling unit without the correct outbound delivery reference.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Outbound Delivery: Verify that the items in the handling unit are indeed supposed to be part of an outbound delivery. If they are, ensure that the outbound delivery has been created and that the items are correctly assigned to it.
  Link Items to Outbound Delivery: If the items are not linked to any outbound delivery, you may need to create an outbound delivery for those items or link them to an existing outbound delivery.
  Recreate Handling Unit: If the handling unit was created incorrectly, consider deleting the existing handling unit and recreating it with the correct references to the outbound delivery.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for handling units and outbound deliveries in your SAP system to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific steps on how to manage handling units and outbound deliveries in your version of SAP.
