• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LC1056 - No selection possible unless you enter a handling unit ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1056 No selection possible unless you enter a handling unit typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when a user attempts to perform an action that requires a handling unit (HU) to be specified, but none has been provided.
  Cause:
  This error is triggered when:
  
  The user tries to execute a transaction or function that requires a handling unit, but the handling unit field is left blank.
  The system is configured to require a handling unit for the specific operation being performed (e.g., picking, packing, or inventory management).
  The handling unit may not exist in the system, or the user may not have the necessary permissions to view or select it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Enter a Handling Unit: Ensure that you enter a valid handling unit in the relevant field before executing the transaction. You can search for existing handling units using the search functionality if you are unsure of the HU number.
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Creation: If you believe a handling unit should exist, verify that it has been created and is available in the system. You can do this by checking the handling unit management transactions.
  
  
  Review User Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to access and select handling units. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are trying to execute. This may provide additional context on handling unit requirements.
  
  
  System Configuration: If the requirement for a handling unit seems inappropriate for the transaction, consult with your SAP EWM configuration team to review the settings. There may be configuration options that can be adjusted to change the handling unit requirement.
  
  
  Check for System Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as sometimes bugs or issues can be resolved through system updates.
