    The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO528 HU &1 not deleted typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an attempt to delete a Handling Unit (HU) that cannot be deleted due to certain conditions or constraints.

    Causes:

    1. Open Transactions: The Handling Unit (HU) may be involved in open transactions, such as active stock movements, deliveries, or other processes that prevent its deletion.
    2. Status Issues: The HU might be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., it could be locked or in a status that requires it to be processed further).
    3. Dependencies: There may be dependencies on the HU, such as being part of a larger handling unit or linked to other inventory management processes.
    4. System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may restrict the deletion of HUs under specific conditions.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Open Transactions: Review any open transactions related to the HU. Ensure that there are no active stock movements or deliveries that involve the HU.
    2. Change Status: If the HU is in a status that prevents deletion, you may need to change its status to allow for deletion. This could involve processing the HU further or releasing it from its current status.
    3. 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.
    4. Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SCWM/HU_MANAGE) to manage the handling unit and check its details.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific details on handling units and their statuses.
    6. Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP experts for further assistance.

    Related Information:

    • Handling Units in EWM: Understanding how handling units work in SAP EWM can provide insights into why certain actions are restricted.
