  Check Storage Locations: Verify the storage location of the HU item and the delivery item. Ensure that they match. You can do this by checking the details of both the HU and the delivery in the SAP system.
  Adjust Handling Unit: If the storage locations do not match, you may need to adjust the handling unit to the correct storage location. This can be done through the appropriate transaction codes in SAP EWM.
