  The SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM079 indicates that there is an issue related to the "party entitled to dispose" for stock in the Warehouse Management (WM) module of SAP. This error typically arises when the system cannot determine which party has the authority to manage or dispose of the stock in question.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The party entitled to dispose of the stock may not be configured in the system. This could be due to missing settings in the material master, storage location, or warehouse management settings.
  Incomplete Master Data: The relevant master data for the material or handling unit may not be fully maintained, leading to the system being unable to identify the responsible party.
  Stock Type Issues: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) may not have a defined party entitled to dispose.
  Custom Logic: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system, they might interfere with the standard process of determining the party entitled to dispose.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Warehouse Management and ensure that the "party entitled to dispose" is properly defined for the relevant stock types and materials.
  Verify the settings in the material master (transaction MM03) under the relevant views (e.g., Sales, Purchasing, Warehouse).
  
  
  
  Maintain Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all necessary master data is complete and accurate. This includes checking the handling unit (HU) data and ensuring that the relevant parties are assigned correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Stock Types:
  
  Check the stock types in use and ensure that each type has a corresponding party entitled to dispose. This can be done in the configuration settings for stock management.
  
  
  
  Custom Logic Review:
  
  If there are any custom developments, review the code to ensure that it does not interfere with the standard determination of the party entitled to dispose.
