  SAP Error Message:
  VH136: Counter of the physical unit & is 0
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process a physical unit (such as a handling unit or packaging unit) whose counter value is zero. In SAP Logistics Execution (LE) or Warehouse Management (WM), physical units are often tracked with counters to ensure uniqueness and traceability. A counter value of zero is invalid because it indicates that the physical unit has not been properly initialized or created.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Attempting to create or process a handling unit without a valid counter number.
  The counter for the physical unit has not been incremented or assigned.
  Data inconsistency or missing configuration in the handling unit numbering or packaging material master.
  Custom developments or interfaces passing zero as the counter value.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Numbering Configuration:
  
  Verify the number range and counter settings for handling units in transaction HU02 or via SPRO under Logistics Execution ?
