• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI_TO_CONF028 - HU differences not possible for kit items ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_TO_CONF028 HU differences not possible for kit items typically occurs in the context of handling unit (HU) management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that there is an issue with handling unit differences when dealing with kit items.
  Cause:
  
  
  Kit Items: The error arises when you are trying to perform an operation (like a transfer order confirmation) on kit items that have handling units associated with them. Kit items are typically composed of multiple components, and the system does not allow for discrepancies in handling units for these types of items.
  
  
  Handling Unit Management: The system expects that all components of a kit are handled together. If there are differences in the handling units (e.g., some components are missing or extra components are present), the system will not allow the operation to proceed.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM that are not aligned with the handling of kit items, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Handling Units: Ensure that all components of the kit are present and correctly packed in the handling unit. Verify that the handling units match the expected configuration for the kit.
  
  
  Confirm Kit Structure: Review the kit structure in the system to ensure that it is correctly defined. Make sure that all components are accounted for and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  Adjust Transfer Order: If you are trying to confirm a transfer order, ensure that the handling units being confirmed match the expected handling units for the kit items. You may need to adjust the transfer order or the handling units involved.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the EWM for handling units and kit items. Ensure that the settings allow for the correct processing of kit items and handling units.
