This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management processes, particularly when dealing with Handling Units in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to perform an operation (like picking, packing, or transferring) on a Handling Unit (HU) that has a different type than what is expected for that operation.

  Correct the HU Type: If the HU type is incorrect, you may need to:
  
  Change the HU type of the existing Handling Unit if possible.
  Create a new Handling Unit with the correct type and transfer the items from the incorrect HU to the new one.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, review the configuration settings in your SAP EWM system to ensure that the correct HU types are defined for the various processes.
