This error indicates that there are differences in the handling unit quantities that cannot be processed without specifying a difference quantity and an exception code.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when there is a discrepancy between the expected quantity of handling units and the actual quantity present. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Physical Inventory Differences: The actual stock in the warehouse does not match the stock recorded in the system.
  Incorrect Handling Unit Management: Issues with how handling units are created, managed, or processed.
  Data Entry Errors: Mistakes during the manual entry of quantities or handling unit information.
  System Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the EWM configuration that affect how handling units are processed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Discrepancy: Check the handling units involved and compare the expected quantities with the actual quantities. This can be done through transaction codes like /SCWM/HU or /SCWM/TO.
  
  
  Specify Difference Quantity: When processing the handling unit, you need to specify the difference quantity that reflects the actual stock. This is usually done in the confirmation screen where you are prompted to enter the quantities.
  
  
  Provide Exception Code: Along with the difference quantity, you must also provide an exception code that explains the reason for the discrepancy. This could be a predefined code in your system that corresponds to the type of difference (e.g., damaged goods, lost items, etc.).
  
  
  Confirm the Handling Unit: After entering the difference quantity and exception code, proceed to confirm the handling unit. This should allow the process to complete without errors.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this error occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the EWM configuration settings related to handling units and stock management to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/HU for handling unit management and /SCWM/TO for transfer order processing.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Extended Warehouse Management for detailed information on handling units and exception handling.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is required, consider implementing user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to handle specific scenarios related to handling unit discrepancies.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your handling unit processing is accurate and efficient.
