• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/TW_UI088 - HU container &1 status already set to "Completed" ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/TW_UI088 HU container &1 status already set to "Completed" typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to perform an action on a Handling Unit (HU) that has already been marked as "Completed." This status indicates that the HU has already been processed and is no longer available for further actions.
  Cause:
  
  
  Status Already Set: The primary cause of this error is that the Handling Unit (HU) you are trying to modify or process has already been completed. This could happen if:
  
  The HU was already processed in a previous transaction.
  There was an attempt to reprocess or modify the HU after it was marked as completed.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Workflow: Sometimes, the workflow or sequence of operations may not be followed correctly, leading to attempts to reprocess completed HUs.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check HU Status: Verify the status of the Handling Unit in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP EWM and checking the status of the HU.
  
  
  Avoid Reprocessing: If the HU is indeed marked as "Completed," you should avoid trying to perform actions that are not allowed on completed HUs. Instead, focus on the next steps in your workflow.
  
  
  Use New HUs: If you need to perform additional operations, consider creating a new Handling Unit instead of trying to modify the completed one.
  
  
  Review Process Flow: Ensure that your process flow is correct and that you are not attempting to perform actions out of sequence. This may involve reviewing the steps leading up to the error.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling HUs and understanding their statuses.
  
  
  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 more tailored assistance based on your specific configuration and processes.
