/SCWM/HUFUNCTIONS153 - Details

• The SAP error message /SCWM/HUFUNCTIONS153 indicates that handling units (HUs) cannot be created when they have a status of "GI posted" (Goods Issue posted). This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  
  Cause:
