This error indicates that the volume of a handling unit (HU) exceeds the defined limits for that particular storage location or handling unit type.
  Cause:
  The error message /SCWM/WHO016 typically occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Volume Exceeded: The current volume of the handling unit exceeds the maximum volume limit set for the storage location or handling unit type.
  Volume Below Minimum: The current volume of the handling unit is below the minimum volume limit set for the storage location or handling unit type.

  If the handling unit's current volume exceeds the maximum limit, consider reducing the volume by either:
  
  Splitting the handling unit into smaller units.
  Removing some items from the handling unit.
  
  
  If the volume is below the minimum limit, you may need to add more items to the handling unit to meet the minimum requirement.
  
  
  
  Configuration Changes:

  This may involve working with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings align with your operational needs.
