  The SAP error message /SCWM/POHU020 Could not find any planned shipping HUs; nothing to be deleted typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when attempting to delete planned handling units (HUs) that do not exist or are not found in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Handling Units: The planned handling units you are trying to delete may not exist in the system. This could happen if they were already deleted or never created.
  Incorrect Selection: The selection criteria used to identify the handling units may be incorrect, leading to no matching records.
  Status of Handling Units: The handling units may be in a status that does not allow deletion, such as being part of a completed process or already being processed in another transaction.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the data that prevent the system from locating the planned HUs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Handling Units: Check if the planned handling units you are trying to delete actually exist in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to view handling units.
  Check Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria you are using to find the handling units are correct. Double-check any filters or parameters you have set.
  Review HU Status: Look into the status of the handling units. If they are in a status that prevents deletion, you may need to change their status or complete the necessary processes before attempting to delete them.
  Consult Logs: Check system logs or application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  Data Consistency Check: If you suspect data consistency issues, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure the database is in a healthy state.
