Specifically, this error occurs when the system requires that all warehouse tasks associated with a handling unit be confirmed in a single step, but this has not been done.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in the following scenarios:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Use the Correct Confirmation Method: Make sure you are using the correct method for confirming tasks. If you are using RF devices, ensure that you are following the correct sequence for confirming tasks.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this behavior is not expected, review the configuration settings in SAP EWM to see if there are any rules or settings that enforce this requirement. You may need to consult with your SAP EWM administrator or a functional consultant.
