• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/QUI_INSPDOC002 - HU &1 is not a highest-level handling unit ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/QUI_INSPDOC002 HU &1 is not a highest-level handling unit typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when you are trying to perform an operation on a handling unit (HU) that is not at the highest level in the hierarchy of handling units.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Issue: The handling unit (HU) you are trying to process is a sub-HU, meaning it is part of a larger handling unit. In SAP, handling units can be nested, and operations that require the highest-level HU cannot be performed on sub-HUs.
  Incorrect Selection: The user may have selected a handling unit that is not intended for the operation being performed, such as trying to perform an inspection or a stock transfer on a sub-HU instead of the parent HU.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Parent HU: You need to find the highest-level handling unit that contains the HU you are trying to work with. You can do this by checking the HU hierarchy in the system.
  Use the Correct HU: Once you have identified the parent HU, use that for your operation instead of the sub-HU.
  Check HU Structure: If you are unsure about the structure of your handling units, you can use transaction codes like /SCWM/HU or /SCWM/PRDI to view the handling unit details and their hierarchy.
  Adjust Your Process: If your process requires working with sub-HUs, ensure that your operations are designed to handle them appropriately, or adjust your workflow to operate at the highest level.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units in SAP: Understanding how handling units work in SAP is crucial. HUs can be nested, and operations often need to be performed at the highest level.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing handling units, such as /SCWM/HU for handling unit management and /SCWM/PRDI for inbound processing.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) for detailed information on handling units and their management.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to handling units.
