  Error Message
  VHU01121: Packing instruction &1 has no load carrier
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) or related logistics modules when a packing instruction is defined but no load carrier is assigned to it. 
  
  A packing instruction typically defines how goods should be packed.
  A load carrier (e.g., pallet, container, box) is a physical object used to carry the packed goods.
  The system expects that each packing instruction is linked to at least one load carrier to ensure proper packing and transportation handling.
  If the packing instruction exists without an associated load carrier, the system cannot proceed with packing or transportation planning, hence the error.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to assign a load carrier to the packing instruction:
  
  
  Check the Packing Instruction:
  
  Go to the transaction or customizing node where packing instructions are maintained.
  Identify the packing instruction mentioned in the error message (the placeholder &1 will be replaced by the actual packing instruction ID).
  
  
  
  Assign Load Carrier:
  
  Assign one or more load carriers to the packing instruction.
  This is usually done in the customizing path or master data maintenance for packing instructions.
  For example, in SAP TM, you can maintain this in the Packing Instruction master data, under the section for load carriers.
  
  
  
  Save and Reprocess:
  
  After assigning the load carrier, save the changes.
  Retry the packing or transportation process that triggered the error.
