This error typically arises in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to perform a posting (like goods movement) on HUs that are currently assigned to another object, such as a delivery, production order, or another handling unit.
  Causes:

  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the posting of HUs under certain conditions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check HU Assignment: Verify the current assignment of the HUs. You can use transaction codes like /SCWM/HU or /SCWM/PR to check the status and assignment of the HUs.
  Release or Unassign HUs: If the HUs are assigned to another object, you may need to unassign them or complete the process for that object before attempting to post them again.
  Change HU Status: If the HUs are in a status that does not allow posting, you may need to change their status to a permissible one.
  Review Transaction Logs: Check the transaction logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on why the posting is failing.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to handling units and their postings for any specific guidelines or known issues.
