• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DE072 - HU is not consolidation group-clean; conversion not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DE072 HU is not consolidation group-clean; conversion not possible typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the handling unit (HU) you are trying to convert or process is not clean in terms of its consolidation group, meaning it cannot be consolidated with other HUs.
  Cause:
  
  Consolidation Group Issues: The handling unit is part of a consolidation group that is not clean. This means that there are inconsistencies or conflicts with the items or characteristics of the HUs that prevent them from being consolidated.
  Mixed Items: The HU may contain mixed items that do not belong to the same consolidation group.
  Status of the HU: The status of the HU may not allow for conversion or consolidation due to prior processing or restrictions.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM system that affect how HUs are managed and consolidated.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Handling Unit: Review the contents of the HU to ensure that all items belong to the same consolidation group. If there are mixed items, consider separating them into different HUs.
  Clean the Consolidation Group: If the HU is part of a consolidation group, ensure that it is clean. This may involve removing or adjusting items within the HU to meet the consolidation criteria.
  Review HU Status: Check the status of the HU to ensure it is eligible for conversion. If it is locked or in a status that prevents processing, you may need to change its status.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling HUs and consolidation groups.
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the EWM configuration settings related to handling units and consolidation groups to ensure they are set up correctly.
