• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO174 - You can't enter a standard HU as a pick-HU for distribution equipment ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO174 indicates that you are trying to use a standard Handling Unit (HU) as a pick-HU for distribution equipment, which is not allowed in the system. This error typically arises in the context of warehouse management processes, particularly when dealing with handling units in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module.
  
  Cause:
  
  Standard Handling Units: The system does not allow standard HUs to be used as pick HUs for distribution equipment. Standard HUs are typically used for storage and not for picking operations.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the EWM system may restrict the use of certain types of HUs for specific operations.
  HU Type: The type of HU you are trying to use may not be compatible with the picking process.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Non-Standard HUs: Instead of using a standard HU, consider using a non-standard HU that is configured for picking operations.
  Check HU Configuration: Review the configuration of the handling units
