  Error Message
  VHU01111: The loading equipment item cannot be deleted.
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to delete a loading equipment item (such as a container, pallet, or other transport unit) in a handling unit (HU) that is currently in a status or condition that does not allow deletion. Common causes include:
  
  The loading equipment item is already assigned to a handling unit that is confirmed, posted, or in a status that prevents modification.
  The loading equipment is part of a handling unit that has been processed in a delivery or shipment document.
  The loading equipment item is linked to other documents or processes that restrict deletion (e.g., goods issue posted, delivery completed).
  The handling unit or loading equipment is locked or in use by another process or user.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Handling Unit and Loading Equipment:
  
  Verify if the handling unit or loading equipment is already confirmed or posted in delivery or shipment.
  Use transaction codes like HU03 (Display Handling Unit) or VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) to check the status.
  
  
  
  Reverse or Cancel Related Documents:
  
  If the loading equipment is part of a delivery or shipment that has been posted, you may need to reverse the goods issue or cancel the delivery before deleting the loading equipment.
  Use transactions like VL09 (Cancel Goods Issue) if applicable.
  
  
  
  Remove Assignments:
  
  Remove the loading equipment from the handling unit or delivery if possible.
  Ensure that the loading equipment is not assigned to any shipment or transportation unit.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks or User Sessions:
  
  Ensure no other user or process is currently editing or locking the handling unit or loading equipment.
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction for Deletion:
  
  Use the appropriate transaction or function module designed for deleting loading equipment items.
  For example, use HU02 (Change Handling Unit) to remove loading equipment items if allowed.
