  Error Message
  VHU01006 &1 is not a &2
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs in the Vehicle Management System (VMS) or related vehicle handling processes in SAP, typically during vehicle master data processing or vehicle handling transactions.
  
  The message indicates that an object or entity identified by &1 (for example, a vehicle number, document number, or object ID) is not of the expected type &2.
  In other words, the system expected the object to be of a certain category or type (e.g., a vehicle, a document, or a status), but the actual object does not match this expected type.
  This mismatch can happen due to incorrect data entry, wrong object reference, or inconsistencies in master data or transaction data.
  
  
  Common Scenarios
  
  Trying to process a vehicle that is not registered as a vehicle master record.
  Referencing a document or object that is not of the required type in vehicle handling transactions.
  Using an incorrect object type in custom developments or enhancements related to vehicle management.
  Data inconsistencies after data migration or integration with other systems.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix
  
  
  Check the Object &1:
  
  Verify the object ID or number that caused the error.
  Confirm that this object exists in the system and is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Verify Object Type &2:
  
  Understand what type the system expects (e.g., vehicle master, document type).
  Check the master data or configuration to ensure the object is assigned the correct type.
  
  
  
  Correct the Data:
  
  If the object is incorrect, correct the reference to point to the right object.
  If the object type is wrong, update the master data to reflect the correct type.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If this error occurs in custom developments, review the code to ensure the correct object types are being passed and validated.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Transactions:
  
  Use vehicle master data transactions (e.g., IH01, IH02) to check vehicle data.
  Use document display or vehicle handling transactions to verify document types.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to message VHU01006 for any known issues or patches.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information

  The placeholders &1 and &2 are dynamically replaced by the system with the actual object ID and expected type.
  This error is a validation message to prevent processing incorrect or inconsistent data.
  
  
  Example
  If the error message reads:
  VHU01006 12345 is not a vehicle
  It means the system expected object "12345" to be a vehicle master record, but it is not found or not classified as a vehicle.
