  Review Dependencies: Check if the HU is part of a larger handling unit or if there are any dependencies that need to be resolved before deletion.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SCWM/HU_MANAGE) to manage the handling unit and check its details.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific details on handling units and their statuses.
