  Cause:
  
  User Action: The user has selected multiple handling units and is attempting to mark them as lost.
  System Configuration: The system is configured to prompt for confirmation when a bulk action is taken on handling units, especially for critical actions like marking them as lost.
  Business Process: This message is part of the business process to ensure that users are aware of the implications of marking HUs as lost, which may affect inventory levels and stock management.
  
  Solution:
  
  Confirm Action: If you intend to mark the selected handling units as lost, you can confirm the action by selecting "Yes" or the appropriate option in the dialog box.
  Review Selection: If you did not intend to mark these HUs as lost, you can cancel the action and review your selection to ensure that only the intended HUs are selected.
  Check Configuration: If this prompt is causing issues in your workflow, you may want to check the system configuration or consult with your SAP administrator to see if the confirmation prompt can be adjusted or disabled, although this is generally not recommended due to the potential for errors.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, handling units are used to manage and track inventory. They can represent pallets, boxes, or any other type of packaging.
