  SAP Error Message:
  VHUAP014: Material &1 is not contained in packing instruction &2

  This error occurs during packing or handling unit processing in SAP Logistics Execution (LE) or Warehouse Management (WM) when you try to pack a material that is not assigned or included in the specified packing instruction.
  
  Material &1: The material number you are trying to pack.
  Packing Instruction &2: The packing instruction number or ID being used.
  
  Packing instructions define how materials should be packed into handling units (HUs). If the material is not part of the packing instruction, SAP prevents packing to ensure compliance with packing rules and to avoid packing errors.
  
  When does this error typically occur?
  
  During outbound delivery processing when creating or confirming handling units.
  When packing materials into handling units using packing instructions.
  When the packing instruction master data does not include the material you are trying to pack.
  
  
  Root Causes:
  
  The material is not assigned to the packing instruction in the packing instruction master data.
  The packing instruction used is incorrect or incomplete.
  The packing instruction is outdated or missing relevant materials.
  Customizing or master data inconsistencies in packing instructions.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Packing Instruction Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Handling Unit Management ? Packing ? Define Packing Instructions.
  Verify that the packing instruction &2 includes the material &1.
  If the material is missing, add the material to the packing instruction.
  
  
  
  Maintain Packing Instruction:
  
  Use transaction HU02 or HU03 to display or change packing instructions.
  Add the missing material to the packing instruction with the correct packing parameters.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Check if the material master data is correctly maintained for packing.
  Ensure that the material is flagged for handling unit management if required.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Packing Instruction:
  
  Confirm that the packing instruction used during packing is the correct one for the material.
  If necessary, select or create a new packing instruction that includes the material.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  Review the packing instruction determination procedure to ensure the correct packing instruction is assigned automatically.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Packing:
  
  After correcting the packing instruction, retry the packing process.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Packing Instructions are templates that define how materials are packed into handling units, including packaging materials, quantities, and packing hierarchies.
  Proper maintenance of packing instructions is crucial for smooth handling unit management and compliance with shipping and packaging standards.
  This error helps prevent packing errors that could lead to shipment discrepancies or damage.
