  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Existent Handling Unit: The Handling Unit (HU) specified in the error message does not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The HU was never created.
  The HU was deleted or archived.
  The HU is not in the correct status to be added to the warehouse order.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Warehouse Order: The warehouse order specified may not be valid or may not be in a state that allows the addition of HUs.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the data synchronization between different modules.

  Verify the Handling Unit:
  
  Check if the HU exists in the system by using transaction codes like /SCWM/HU or /SCWM/PRDI to search for the HU.
  Ensure that the HU is in the correct status (e.g., not blocked or deleted).
  
  
  
  Check Warehouse Order:
  
  Verify that the warehouse order is valid and in a state that allows the addition of HUs.
  Ensure that the warehouse order is not already completed or closed.

  If the HU does not exist, you may need to create it again or ensure that it is properly generated during the inbound or outbound process.
  
  
  
  Review System Logs:
