• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DE156 - Destination HU is the same as source HU. Do you want to change it? ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DE156 Destination HU is the same as source HU. Do you want to change it? typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This message indicates that the system has detected that the destination handling unit (HU) is the same as the source handling unit during a process such as picking, packing, or transferring.
  Cause:
  
  Same Handling Unit: The most common cause of this error is that the user is attempting to perform an operation where the source and destination HUs are identical. For example, if you are trying to move or pack an HU into itself, the system will raise this error.
  User Input Error: The user may have mistakenly selected the same HU for both source and destination.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the system that are causing this behavior.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Destination HU: If the intention is to move or pack items into a different HU, select a different destination HU that is not the same as the source HU.
  Confirm Action: If you intended to perform an operation on the same HU (which is generally not advisable), you may need to confirm the action if the system prompts you. However, this is usually not a standard practice.
  Review Process: Ensure that the process you are following is correct and that you are not inadvertently trying to perform an operation that does not make sense (e.g., packing an HU into itself).
  Check User Input: Double-check the input fields to ensure that the correct HUs are being selected.
