This error indicates that the handling unit (HU) you are trying to work with is a planned HU, and you need to post the goods receipt for it before you can proceed with other operations.
  Cause:
  
  Planned Handling Unit: The handling unit (HU) in question is marked as a planned HU, which means it has been created in the system but has not yet been associated with a physical goods receipt.
  Goods Receipt Not Posted: The system requires that a goods receipt be posted for the planned HU before any further actions can be taken, such as moving the HU to a different location or processing it in any way.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Post Goods Receipt:
  
  Navigate to the appropriate transaction in SAP EWM to post the goods receipt for the handling unit.
  Ensure that the goods receipt is correctly recorded in the system, which will change the status of the HU from planned to actual.
  
  
  
  Verify HU Status:
  
  After posting the goods receipt, check the status of the handling unit to confirm that it is no longer in the planned state.
  You can use transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to view the details of the handling unit.
  
  
  
  Retry the Operation:
  
  Once the goods receipt has been successfully posted, you can retry the operation that initially triggered the error.
