• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI117 - HU &1 is assigned to a TU; enter the new TU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI117 HU &1 is assigned to a TU; enter the new TU typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) and transportation units (TUs) within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the handling unit (HU) you are trying to work with is already assigned to a transportation unit (TU), and therefore, you cannot perform the action you are attempting without specifying a different TU.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Assignment: The handling unit (HU) you are trying to process is already linked to a transportation unit (TU). This could happen if you are trying to reassign the HU or perform an operation that requires the HU to be unassigned from the current TU.
  Incorrect Process Flow: You may be following an incorrect process flow that does not allow for the action you are trying to perform on the HU.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Current TU: Check which transportation unit the handling unit is currently assigned to. You can do this by using transaction codes or reports that allow you to view the details of the handling unit.
  Use a Different TU: If your operation requires you to specify a TU, you need to enter a different TU that is not currently assigned to the HU.
  Unassign the HU: If you need to reassign the HU to a different TU, you may need to first unassign it from the current TU. This can typically be done through the appropriate transaction in SAP EWM.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling units and transportation units to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI (for handling unit management) or /SCWM/TU (for transportation unit management).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address specific issues.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform actions on handling units and transportation units.
  Training and Support: If you are unsure about the process, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or attending training sessions on SAP EWM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with your operations in SAP EWM.
