  Check Changeset Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to changeset processing in EWM. Ensure that the system is set up to allow the processing of the types of stock you are working with.
  Use Alternative Processing: If packing is not feasible for your operation, consider using alternative processing methods that do not require changeset processing.
