  Cause:
  This error occurs in the SAP Vehicle Handling Unit (VHU) or Vehicle Logistics module when the system cannot find any packing instructions that match the criteria or selection parameters provided during the packing or shipping process.
  Packing instructions define how vehicles or items should be packed, including details like packaging materials, methods, and constraints. If no relevant packing instructions exist for the selected vehicle(s), shipment, or handling unit, the system raises this error.
  Common reasons include:
  
  Missing or incomplete packing instructions master data for the vehicle or product.
  Incorrect or too restrictive selection criteria/filter in the packing process.
  Configuration issues where packing instructions are not assigned or maintained properly.
  The vehicle/product type or shipment does not have any packing instructions assigned.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Packing Instructions Master Data:
  
  Verify that packing instructions exist for the vehicle/product involved.
  Use transaction codes related to packing instructions maintenance, such as:

  Or navigate via Logistics ? Vehicle Logistics ? Packing Instructions.
  
  
  Ensure that packing instructions are maintained for the relevant vehicle model, product, or shipment type.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Check the selection parameters used during packing or shipment creation.
  Loosen or adjust filters to ensure they match existing packing instructions.
  Confirm that the vehicle/product characteristics match those defined in the packing instructions.
  
  
  
  Maintain or Create Packing Instructions:
  
  If missing, create new packing instructions for the vehicle/product.
  Ensure all mandatory fields are filled, including packaging materials, methods, and constraints.
  Assign packing instructions to the correct vehicle/product categories.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify that the system configuration for packing instructions assignment is correct.
  Check customizing settings in SPRO under Vehicle Logistics ? Packing Instructions.
  Ensure integration points between vehicle/product master data and packing instructions are properly set.
