• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV387 - HU &1 is cross-delivery-item HU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV387 HU &1 is cross-delivery-item HU typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the handling unit (HU) you are trying to process is associated with multiple delivery items, which is not allowed for certain operations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by attempting to perform an operation (such as receiving, picking, or transferring) on a handling unit that is linked to more than one delivery item. In SAP EWM, handling units are expected to be associated with a single delivery item for certain processes to ensure proper inventory management and tracking.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Handling Unit: Verify the details of the handling unit (HU) in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to display the handling unit and see its associated delivery items.
  
  
  Identify Delivery Items: Determine which delivery items are associated with the HU. If the HU is indeed linked to multiple delivery items, you will need to separate them.
  
  
  Create Separate HUs: If the handling unit is meant to contain items from different deliveries, consider creating separate handling units for each delivery item. This can be done by splitting the handling unit in the system.
  
  
  Adjust the Process: If the operation you are trying to perform does not support cross-delivery handling units, adjust your process to ensure that each handling unit is associated with only one delivery item.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling units and delivery items in EWM, as there may be configuration settings or best practices that can help prevent this issue in the future.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, handling units are used to manage and track physical items in the warehouse. Each HU can contain one or more products, but for certain operations, it must be linked to a single delivery item.
  Delivery Items: These are individual items within a delivery document. Each delivery can contain multiple items, but when it comes to handling units, the system may enforce restrictions to maintain data integrity.
  SAP EWM Configuration: Ensure that your EWM configuration aligns with your business processes, especially regarding handling units and delivery management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and ensure smoother operations within your SAP EWM environment.
