  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_CANCPICK021 typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that there is stock in a handling unit (HU) that needs to be managed in the HU view before you can proceed with the picking process.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to perform a picking operation on stock that is currently managed in handling units, but the system requires you to switch to the handling unit view to release or manage that stock. This situation can arise in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Attempting to pick stock that is packed in handling units without first accessing the HU view.
  The stock is not available in the standard stock view because it is exclusively managed in handling units.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Switch to Handling Unit View:
  
  Navigate to the handling unit management screen in SAP EWM.
  Access the relevant handling unit that contains the stock you are trying to pick.
  
  
  
  Release or Manage Stock:
  
  Once in the HU view, you can release the stock or perform any necessary actions (like confirming the handling unit, adjusting quantities, etc.) that are required before picking.
  
  
  
  Return to Picking Process:
  
  After managing the stock in the HU view, return to the picking process and attempt to pick the stock again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, handling units are used to manage stock that is packed together. Each HU can contain one or more items and is treated as a single entity for storage and movement.

  User Authorization: Make sure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and manage handling units in the system.
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  If you frequently encounter this error, consider reviewing your warehouse processes to ensure that handling units are being managed effectively.
  Training for warehouse staff on handling unit management can help reduce errors related to HUs.
  Consult SAP documentation or your SAP support team for specific configurations or settings that may affect handling unit management in your system.
