• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT028 - Reversal possible only together with HU &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT028 indicates that a reversal of a goods movement is only possible when handling units (HUs) are involved. This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to reverse a goods movement that does not include handling units. In SAP EWM, certain operations, especially those related to goods movements, require that handling units be specified. If the goods movement you are trying to reverse does not have an associated handling unit, the system will prevent the reversal and display this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Handling Units: Ensure that the goods movement you are trying to reverse is associated with a handling unit. You can do this by checking the relevant documents or transactions in the system.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: If you are trying to reverse a goods movement that does not involve handling units, you may need to use a different transaction or process that is appropriate for non-HU movements.
  
  
  Create or Assign Handling Units: If the goods movement should have handling units but does not, you may need to create or assign handling units to the relevant stock before attempting the reversal again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources related to goods movements and handling units in EWM to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide guidance based on your specific configuration and processes.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP EWM Configuration: Ensure that your EWM system is properly configured to handle goods movements with and without handling units, as per your business processes.
  
  By following these steps and understanding the context of the error, you should be able to address the issue effectively.
