  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3686 Available quantity is not sufficient for HU WT typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to perform a warehouse task (WT) for handling units (HUs) but the available quantity of the product is insufficient to fulfill the task.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Stock: The most common cause is that the quantity of the material in the specified storage location is less than what is required for the handling unit (HU) warehouse task.
  Incorrect HU Assignment: The handling unit may not be correctly assigned or may not contain the expected quantity of the material.
  Stock Type Issues: The stock might be in a different stock type (e.g., blocked stock, quality inspection stock) that is not available for the task.
  Inventory Management Issues: There may be discrepancies in inventory records, such as unposted goods movements or incorrect stock levels.
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, the specific batch may not have enough stock available.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify the stock levels for the material in the relevant storage location using transaction codes like MMBE or LX03. Ensure that the available quantity meets the requirements of the warehouse task.
  Review Handling Unit: Check the handling unit to ensure it is correctly assigned and contains the expected quantity. You can use transaction HU02 to display the handling unit details.
  Adjust Stock: If the stock is insufficient, you may need to perform a stock transfer, receive additional stock, or adjust the stock levels as necessary.
  Check Stock Types: Ensure that the stock is not in a restricted stock type. If it is, you may need to move it to unrestricted stock.
  Inventory Reconciliation: If there are discrepancies, perform an inventory reconciliation to ensure that the system reflects the actual stock levels.
