  Check Volume Settings:
  
  Review the maximum volume settings for the relevant storage type or handling unit type in the SAP EWM configuration.
  Ensure that the maximum volume is set appropriately based on the physical constraints of the storage location or handling unit.
  
  
  
  Adjust Handling Unit Volume:

  Data Entry Verification:
  
  Verify the volume value entered during the packing or storage process. Ensure that it accurately reflects the actual volume of the goods.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
