• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/TO_WHR013 - Handling unit &1 with warehouse no. &2 invalid for warehouse no. &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/TO_WHR013 indicates that there is an issue with the handling unit (HU) being referenced in a transfer order (TO) in the context of warehouse management. Specifically, the error states that the handling unit with the specified warehouse number is invalid for the warehouse number being processed.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Warehouse Number Mismatch: The handling unit (HU) is associated with a different warehouse number than the one you are trying to process it in. This can happen if the HU was created in a different warehouse or if there was a configuration issue.
  
  
  Handling Unit Status: The handling unit may be in a status that does not allow it to be processed in the current warehouse. For example, it might be locked or in a state that prevents its use.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or transactional data related to the handling unit or the warehouses involved.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Details:
  
  Use transaction code HU02 or HU03 to display the details of the handling unit. Verify the warehouse number associated with the HU and ensure it matches the warehouse number you are trying to process.
  
  
  
  Verify Transfer Order Details:
  
  Check the transfer order (TO) details to ensure that the handling unit is being referenced correctly. You can use transaction code LT03 to display the TO and confirm the details.
  
  
  
  Reassign Handling Unit:
  
  If the handling unit is indeed associated with a different warehouse, you may need to reassign it to the correct warehouse. This can involve moving the HU to the correct warehouse or creating a new HU in the correct warehouse.
  
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Status:
  
  Ensure that the handling unit is not in a status that prevents it from being processed. If it is locked or in a restricted state, you may need to unlock it or change its status.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the warehouse management settings are correctly configured and that there are no discrepancies in the system.
  
  
  
  Review Logs and Documentation:
