This error indicates that the system is unable to find the specified destination handling unit (HU) during a putaway or transfer process.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Handling Unit: The specified handling unit (HU) does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the HU number or the HU not being created or activated.

  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database, such as missing entries or records that have not been updated correctly.

  Recreate HU: If the handling unit does not exist, you may need to create it again or ensure that it is properly generated during the relevant processes.
