    SAP Error Message:
    VHU01168 HU &1 cannot be transferred, because the GI has already been posted
    
    Meaning / 
    Cause: This error occurs when you try to transfer a Handling Unit (HU) in the system, but the system detects that a Goods Issue (GI) has already been posted for the material contained in that HU. In other words, the HU is already considered "consumed" or "issued" in the system, so it cannot be transferred or moved again. Typical scenario: You have a Handling Unit that was packed and then a Goods Issue was posted for it (e.g., delivery was confirmed and goods were issued to the customer). After posting the GI, you attempt to transfer or move the HU again (e.g., trying to change the HU status, transfer it to another location, or reuse it in a way that conflicts with the posted GI). The system blocks this action
