  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A Handling Unit (HU) is involved in a storage process that is currently active or has not been completed.
  The system is trying to perform an operation (like moving, deleting, or changing the status of the HU) that is not allowed while the storage control is active.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Storage Process:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for processing inbound deliveries) or /SCWM/PRDO (for processing outbound deliveries) to check the status of the storage process associated with the HU.
  Ensure that the storage process is completed or canceled if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Complete or Cancel the Storage Process:
  
  If the storage process is still active, complete it by following the necessary steps in the EWM system.
  If the process is not needed, you may cancel it, which should release the lock on the HU.
  
  
  
  Review the Handling Unit:
  
  Check the details of the Handling Unit using transaction /SCWM/HU to ensure that it is not involved in any other processes that could be causing the lock.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs and Documentation:
