• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/TW_WT035 - Packing HU &1 into HU &2 is not allowed. HU &2 contains products ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/TW_WT035 indicates that there is an issue with packing handling units (HUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the error states that you are trying to pack handling unit (HU) &1 into handling unit (HU) &2, but this operation is not allowed because HU &2 already contains products.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the target handling unit (HU &2) is not empty. In SAP EWM, you cannot pack one handling unit into another if the target handling unit already contains items. This restriction is in place to maintain the integrity of inventory and ensure that handling units are managed correctly.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Contents of HU &2: Verify what products are currently packed in HU &2. You can do this by checking the handling unit's details in the system.
  
  
  Empty the Target HU: If you need to pack HU &1 into HU &2, you must first ensure that HU &2 is empty. You can either:
  
  Unpack the items from HU &2 if they are not needed.
  Move the items from HU &2 to another handling unit or location.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Target HU: If it is not feasible to empty HU &2, consider using a different handling unit that is empty for packing HU &1.
  
  
  Review Packing Strategies: If this error occurs frequently, review your packing strategies and processes to ensure they align with your warehouse operations and that users are aware of the restrictions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP EWM documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling units and packing processes for additional context and best practices.
  
  
  Related Information:
