  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN465 Only closing of HU possible typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the system is preventing any further processing of the handling unit (HU) because it is in a state that only allows for closing the HU.
  Cause:
  The error can be triggered by several factors, including:
  
  HU Status: The handling unit may be in a status that does not allow for further processing (e.g., it may be marked as completed or closed).
  Incompatible Operations: The operation you are trying to perform (e.g., picking, packing, or moving) is not allowed on the current state of the HU.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the EWM system that restrict certain actions on HUs based on their status.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check HU Status: Verify the current status of the handling unit. You can do this by using transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to display the handling unit and check its status.
  
  
  Close the HU: If the HU is in a state that requires it to be closed, you may need to perform the closing operation. This can typically be done through the appropriate transaction or RF (Radio Frequency) interface.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in your EWM system to ensure that the handling unit processing rules are set up correctly. This may involve checking the warehouse process types and their allowed operations.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling units and their statuses.
