• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/POHU079 - &1 items exist with planned shipping HUs assigned ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/POHU079 indicates that there are items with planned shipping Handling Units (HUs) assigned, which is preventing certain operations from being completed. This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics processes within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to perform an action (such as deleting or modifying a planned shipping order) that is not allowed because there are still items associated with planned shipping HUs. This means that the system is enforcing data integrity by ensuring that all items are properly accounted for before allowing changes to the shipping order.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Planned Shipping HUs: Review the planned shipping HUs that are associated with the items. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP EWM and checking the status of the HUs.
  
  
  Confirm or Cancel Shipping HUs: If the planned shipping HUs are no longer needed, you may need to confirm or cancel them. This can be done through the appropriate transaction codes in SAP EWM, such as:
  
  Confirming the shipping HUs if they are ready for shipment.
  Cancelling the shipping HUs if they are no longer required.
  
  
  
  Reassign Items: If the items need to be moved to a different HU or if the planned shipping needs to be adjusted, you may need to reassign the items to a different HU.
  
  
  Check for Open Processes: Ensure that there are no open processes or transactions that are still referencing the planned shipping HUs. This includes checking for any open deliveries, outbound deliveries, or other logistics processes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling planned shipping HUs and related error messages.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance.
