  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO109 WT &1 does not fit completely into HU. Quantity reduced to &2 typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an issue with the handling unit (HU) and the quantity of the work task (WT) being processed. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Size Mismatch: The handling unit (HU) may not have enough capacity to accommodate the entire quantity of the work task (WT). This can happen if the WT is larger than the available space in the HU.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that define the maximum capacity of HUs, which could lead to this error if not set correctly.
  Incorrect Quantity: The quantity specified in the WT may exceed the quantity that can be packed into the HU based on its dimensions or weight.
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type of the items being handled may have restrictions that prevent them from being packed into the specified HU.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check HU Capacity: Verify the capacity of the handling unit. Ensure that the HU can accommodate the quantity of the WT. If necessary, use a larger HU or split the WT into smaller quantities that fit into the existing HU.
  Adjust WT Quantity: If the WT quantity is incorrect, adjust it to match the available capacity of the HU. This may involve modifying the WT or creating a new WT with the correct quantity.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for handling units in the EWM system. Ensure that the maximum capacity and dimensions are set correctly to avoid such issues in the future.
  Use Alternative HUs: If the current HU cannot accommodate the WT, consider using alternative HUs that have the required capacity.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling units and work tasks to ensure compliance with best practices.
