  VHUAP003 - Enter a quantity to be packed
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the packing process in SAP (typically in the Logistics Execution or Warehouse Management module) when the system expects a quantity to be entered for packing but none has been provided.

  Enter a valid quantity:
  
  Make sure to enter a positive quantity in the "Quantity to be packed" field before proceeding.
  
  
  Check the packing screen:

  Review packing instructions:
  
  If you are using packing instructions or packing proposals, ensure they are correctly maintained and that the system proposes a valid quantity.
  
  
  Check for user exits or enhancements:
  
  Sometimes custom code or user exits might interfere with the packing process. Review any custom developments that might clear or affect the quantity field.
  
  
  Verify material and delivery data:
  
  Ensure that the delivery and material data are consistent and that the quantity to be packed is available and not exceeding the open quantity.
