  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN060 indicates that a Handling Unit (HU) cannot be taken over because it contains remaining products. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management processes, particularly when dealing with Handling Units in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to take over a Handling Unit that still has products remaining in it. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  The Handling Unit is not fully packed or has not been completely processed.
  There are still items in the HU that have not been accounted for or moved to another location.

  Solution:

  If applicable, confirm the quantities in the HU to ensure they are accounted for.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Management Settings:
  
  If the business process allows, you may need to adjust the settings in the warehouse management configuration to permit the take-over of HUs with remaining products. This should be done with caution and in accordance with your business processes.
