Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT065 - HU &1 is a nested HU; partial posting not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT065 indicates that you are trying to perform a goods movement operation on a Handling Unit (HU) that is nested within another HU. In SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), nested HUs are not allowed for partial postings, which means you cannot process a nested HU in a way that would only affect part of it.
  Cause:
  
  Nested Handling Units: The HU you are trying to process is part of another HU. For example, if you have a larger HU that contains smaller HUs, and you attempt to perform a goods movement on one of the smaller HUs, this error will occur.
  Partial Posting Restrictions: SAP EWM does not allow partial postings on nested HUs to maintain data integrity and avoid complications in inventory management.
  
  Solution:
  
  Process the Parent HU: Instead of trying to process the nested HU, you should perform the goods movement on the parent HU that contains the nested HU. This way, you can move the entire parent HU, which includes the nested HUs.
  Unpack the Nested HU: If you need to work with the nested HU specifically, you may need to unpack it from the parent HU first. This can be done using the unpacking functionality in SAP EWM.
  Check HU Structure: Review the structure of your HUs in the system to ensure that you are aware of which HUs are nested and how they are organized. This can help prevent similar errors in the future.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, HUs are used to manage inventory at a more granular level. Understanding how HUs are structured and how they can be nested is crucial for effective warehouse management.
  Goods Movement: Familiarize yourself with the different types of goods movements in SAP EWM, such as stock transfers, goods receipts, and goods issues, to understand how they interact with HUs.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for EWM for detailed information on handling units, goods movements, and error messages. This can provide additional context and troubleshooting steps.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully perform the desired goods movement in SAP EWM.
