• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHU01158 - The posting can be changed only for HUs with the same storage location ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VHU01158: "The posting can be changed only for HUs with the same storage location":
  
  Error Message:
  VHU01158
  
  The posting can be changed only for HUs with the same storage location
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to change a posting (such as a goods movement or handling unit posting) involving Handling Units (HUs) that belong to different storage locations in a single transaction or posting change.
  In SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), postings related to Handling Units are often restricted to a single storage location per posting document. This is because the system processes inventory and stock movements at the storage location level, and mixing HUs from different storage locations in one posting change is not allowed.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to change or post a goods movement document involving multiple HUs that are assigned to different storage locations.
  When you try to perform a posting change (e.g., HU movement, stock transfer) that crosses storage location boundaries in one step.
  During HU management transactions where the system expects all HUs to be from the same storage location for consistency and inventory accuracy.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Locations of HUs:
  
  Verify the storage location assigned to each Handling Unit involved in the posting.
  You can use transaction codes like HU03 (Display Handling Unit) or check the HU details in the document.
  
  
  
  Split the Posting:
  
  If HUs belong to different storage locations, split the posting into multiple postings, each involving HUs from only one storage location.
  Post the changes separately for each storage location.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Process:
  
  Ensure that your business process or transaction design does not mix HUs from different storage locations in a single posting.
  If necessary, adjust the process or system configuration to handle postings per storage location.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and User Exits:
  
  In some cases, custom code or user exits might be enforcing this restriction.
  Review any enhancements or BAdIs related to HU postings to ensure they are not causing this error unnecessarily.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Handling Unit Management (HUM):
  
  SAP HUM requires strict control over inventory movements at the HU level, often tied to storage locations for accurate stock management.
  
  
  Storage Location in SAP:
  
  Storage location is a key organizational unit in inventory management. Stock postings and movements are generally processed per storage location.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  HU02 - Change Handling Unit
  HU03 - Display Handling Unit
  VL02N - Change Outbound Delivery (if related to delivery postings)
  LT03 - Create Transfer Order (WM)

  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to Handling Unit postings and storage location restrictions.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on Handling Unit Management and storage location postings.
