  The SAP error message /SCWM/MIGRATION_CUST203 indicates that during a migration process in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), a Handling Unit (HU) type is not specified in one of the records of the specified file. This error typically arises when the data being imported or migrated does not meet the required structure or completeness expected by the system.
  Cause:

  Incorrect File Format: The file being used for migration may not be formatted correctly, leading to missing or misaligned data fields.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity in the source system, where some records do not have the necessary information filled out.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Migration File: Open the specified file (indicated by &1 in the error message) and review the records for any missing HU type entries. Ensure that every record that requires an HU type has it specified.
  Correct the Data: If you find records without an HU type, you will need to either fill in the missing information or remove those records if they are not necessary for the migration.
  Validate File Structure: Ensure that the file adheres to the expected structure and format required by the EWM migration process. This includes checking for correct delimiters, headers, and data types.
  Use Data Migration Tools: If available, use SAP's data migration tools or transaction codes (like LTMC) that can help validate and prepare your data for migration.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guides related to EWM migration to ensure that you are following the correct procedures and requirements.
  Test Migration: After making corrections, perform a test migration with a smaller dataset to ensure that the issue is resolved before attempting a full migration.
