• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3119 - Loading not possible; HU &1 is a Sub-HU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3119 Loading not possible; HU &1 is a Sub-HU typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when you are trying to load a Handling Unit (HU) that is a sub-handling unit (Sub-HU) rather than a main handling unit. 
  Cause:
  
  Sub-HU Status: The handling unit you are trying to load is classified as a sub-handling unit. In SAP EWM, sub-handling units are typically used to represent a part of a larger handling unit and cannot be loaded independently.
  Incorrect Loading Process: The loading process may be incorrectly configured or executed, attempting to load a sub-HU instead of its parent handling unit.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Parent HU: Determine the parent handling unit of the sub-HU you are trying to load. You can do this by checking the handling unit hierarchy in the system.
  Load the Parent HU: Instead of attempting to load the sub-HU, load the parent handling unit that contains the sub-HU. This will ensure that the entire unit is loaded correctly.
  Review Loading Process: Ensure that your loading process is correctly set up to handle HUs and their relationships. This may involve reviewing the configuration settings in SAP EWM.
  Check HU Status: Make sure that the handling units involved are in the correct status for loading. If the sub-HU is not in a status that allows loading, you may need to change its status or the status of the parent HU.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Unit Management: Understanding how handling units and sub-handling units work in SAP EWM is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the concepts of HU hierarchy and how they are used in warehouse processes.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Extended Warehouse Management for detailed information on handling units, loading processes, and error messages.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to view handling units and their details, or /SCWM/PR for managing warehouse processes.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message.
