  Error Message:
  VHU01163
  Packing instruction check for ref. mat. with mat. mix not possible
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the packing instruction check in the SAP Vehicle Handling Unit (VHU) or related packing processes when the system tries to validate packing instructions for a reference material that is assigned to a material mix. The system cannot perform the packing instruction check because the reference material is linked to a material mix, and the packing instruction check logic does not support this scenario.
  In other words:
  
  The reference material (ref. mat.) is part of a material mix.
  The packing instruction check is designed to work with individual materials, not with material mixes.
  Therefore, the system cannot perform the packing instruction check for the reference material when it is associated with a material mix.
