  Error Message
  VHU01010 - Insert is not possible; number the items
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the Vehicle Handling Unit (VHU) or related vehicle management processes in SAP when you try to insert an item into a table or structure that requires the items to be sequentially numbered or indexed, but the numbering is missing or incorrect.
  In other words, the system expects the items to have a proper sequence number or item number, and when you attempt to insert an item without assigning a number or with a duplicate number, the insert operation fails.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During the creation or modification of vehicle handling units or vehicle-related documents.
  When adding items to a list or table where item numbering is mandatory.
  When the program logic expects a unique and sequential item number but receives none or an invalid one.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Number the items properly:
  
  Ensure that each item you are trying to insert has a unique and sequential item number.
  Check the input data or the program logic that assigns item numbers and correct it to provide valid numbering.
  
  
  
  Check the program or user exit:
  
  If you are using a custom program, user exit, or BAdI to insert items, verify that the numbering logic is implemented correctly.
  Make sure the item numbers are generated or assigned before the insert operation.
  
  
  
  Use standard SAP transaction or function modules:
  
  If you are manually inserting data via custom code, consider using standard SAP function modules or transactions that handle numbering automatically.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Debug the process where the insert fails to identify why the item number is missing or invalid.
  Check the internal tables or structures before the insert statement.
