VHU01132 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  VHU01132 – The packing instruction entered does not contain the material
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or use a packing instruction that does not include the material in question. In SAP, packing instructions define how materials are packed (e.g., packaging materials, packing quantities, etc.). If the packing instruction master data does not list the material you are trying to pack, the system throws this error.
  In other words, the packing instruction you entered is not valid for the material because the material is not assigned or included in that packing instruction.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Packing Instruction Master Data:
  
  Go to the packing instruction maintenance transaction (e.g., VHU1 or VHU2 depending on your SAP version).
  Verify if the material is assigned to the packing instruction you are trying to use.
  If the material is missing, add the material to the packing instruction.
  
  
  
  Assign Material to Packing Instruction:
  
  In the packing instruction maintenance screen, add the material
