• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HUFUNCTIONS013 - HU &4:Total volume &1 &3 not same as own vol. &2 &3 for closed packaging ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HUFUNCTIONS013 typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates a discrepancy between the total volume of the handling unit (HU) and the expected volume based on the contents of the HU. Specifically, the message states that the total volume calculated does not match the volume that is recorded for the handling unit.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  
  Volume Mismatch: The total volume of the items packed in the handling unit does not match the volume defined for the handling unit itself. This can happen if:
  
  The items packed have different dimensions or volumes than expected.
  The handling unit was incorrectly defined or modified after packing.
  
  
  
  Closed Packaging: The error specifically mentions "closed packaging," which means that the handling unit is in a state where it cannot be modified. Any changes to the contents or dimensions of the items in the HU after it has been closed will lead to this error.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the packing process can lead to discrepancies in volume calculations.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Definition: Verify the volume defined for the handling unit in the system. Ensure that it matches the total volume of the items packed within it.
  
  
  Review Packed Items: Check the items that have been packed into the handling unit. Ensure that their dimensions and volumes are correctly defined in the system.
  
  
  Repack the Handling Unit: If the handling unit is still in a state where it can be modified (i.e., not fully closed), consider unpacking and repacking the items to ensure that the total volume matches.
  
  
  Adjust Volume Manually: If the handling unit is closed and cannot be modified, you may need to adjust the volume manually in the system or create a new handling unit with the correct volume.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific instructions related to handling units and volume discrepancies.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/HU for handling unit management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to handling units and volume discrepancies that may provide additional insights or patches.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your SAP system, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect handling unit processing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
