  Solution:
  
  Check HU Type: Verify that the handling unit you are trying to pack into is indeed a shipper HU and confirm whether it is intended to be used for packing. If it is not, consider using a different HU type that allows packing.
  Review Configuration: Consult with your SAP EWM configuration team to review the settings related to handling units and packing. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow packing into specific HUs if that aligns with your business processes.
  Use Alternative Packing Methods: If packing into the shipper HU is not allowed, consider alternative methods for packing, such as packing items into a different HU that is designated for that purpose.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling units and packing processes in EWM.
