• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/TW_UI046 - None of the selected handling units can be removed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/TW_UI046 None of the selected handling units can be removed typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to remove handling units (HUs) that are not eligible for removal. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  
  Status of Handling Units: The handling units you are trying to remove may be in a status that does not allow removal (e.g., they are already part of a delivery, or they are in a status like "In Use" or "Blocked").
  
  
  Dependencies: The handling units may have dependencies, such as being part of a larger handling unit or being linked to an open process (e.g., an open transfer order).
  
  
  Stock Type: The stock type of the handling units may not allow for removal. For example, stock in quality inspection or blocked stock cannot be removed.
  
  
  Warehouse Management Settings: There may be specific settings in the warehouse management configuration that prevent the removal of certain handling units.
  
  
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the removal of handling units.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Status: Verify the status of the handling units you are trying to remove. If they are in a status that prevents removal, you may need to change their status or complete any open processes associated with them.
  
  
  Review Dependencies: Ensure that the handling units are not part of any open deliveries or transfer orders. If they are, you may need to complete or cancel those processes first.
  
  
  Stock Type Review: Check the stock type of the handling units. If they are in a restricted stock type, you may need to move them to unrestricted stock before removal.
  
  
  Warehouse Management Configuration: Review the warehouse management settings to ensure that there are no restrictions on the removal of handling units.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to remove the handling units has the necessary authorizations. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SCWM/PRDI for handling unit management) to get more details about the handling units and their statuses.
