In SAP EWM, consolidation groups are used to group items that can be handled together for storage or transportation purposes. If you attempt to perform an operation (like picking, packing, or transferring) on a handling unit that contains items from different consolidation groups, the system will raise this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Handling Unit: Review the handling unit in question to identify the items it contains. You can do this by using transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to display the handling unit details.
  
  
  Verify Consolidation Groups: For each item in the handling unit, check the assigned consolidation group. You can do this by looking at the material master data or the specific settings for the items in question.
  
  
  Separate Items: If the handling unit contains items from different consolidation groups, you will need to separate them. You can create new handling units for items that belong to different consolidation groups.
  
  
  Adjust Settings: If necessary, review the configuration settings for consolidation groups in your SAP EWM system. Ensure that the settings align with your warehouse processes and that items that should be consolidated are correctly assigned to the same group.
  
  
  Repack the Handling Unit: After separating the items, you may need to repack the handling units to ensure that each unit only contains items from the same consolidation group.
  
  
  Related Information:
