  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_TO_CONF026 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the handling unit (HU) content and the expected quantity during a transfer order (TO) confirmation process in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, it means that the quantity being confirmed for the handling unit is greater than the actual quantity contained within that handling unit.
  Cause:

  Incorrect Data Entry: Manual entry errors during the confirmation process can lead to discrepancies.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the handling units are configured in the system, leading to incorrect expectations of HU content.
  Changes in Inventory: If there have been changes in inventory levels (e.g., goods movements) that were not updated in the system, this could lead to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify HU Content: Check the actual content of the handling unit to ensure that it matches the expected quantity. You can do this by reviewing the handling unit in the system.
  Adjust Confirmation Quantity: If the quantity being confirmed is incorrect, adjust it to match the actual quantity present in the handling unit.
