  The SAP error message /SCWM/TO_WHR019 HU &1 is a planned HU w/o source stor. bin or source transportation unit typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when dealing with Handling Units (HUs) and Transfer Orders (TOs). This error indicates that the Handling Unit (HU) referenced in the error message is planned but does not have a source storage bin or a source transportation unit assigned to it.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Source Storage Bin: The Handling Unit (HU) is planned for a transfer order, but it has not been assigned a source storage bin. This means that the system does not know where the HU is currently located in the warehouse.
  
  
  Missing Source Transportation Unit: Similar to the storage bin, if the HU is supposed to be part of a transportation unit, it may not be linked to any transportation unit, leading to this error.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the warehouse processes, such as the handling unit management settings or transfer order settings.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the handling unit, such as missing or incorrect entries in the database.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign Source Storage Bin: Ensure that the Handling Unit is assigned to a valid source storage bin. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., /SCWM/TO for transfer orders).
  Editing the transfer order to assign the appropriate storage bin to the HU.
  
  
  
  Assign Source Transportation Unit: If applicable, ensure that the HU is linked to a transportation unit. This can be done in the transportation management module or during the creation of the transfer order.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for handling units and transfer orders in your SAP system. Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  Data Validation: Perform a data validation check to ensure that all necessary data for the handling unit is present and correct. This may involve checking the database entries for the HU and related objects.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling units and transfer orders in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
