  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHUAP152 - Reference &1 &2 &3 cannot be mapped - too many packed goods ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    VHUAP152 Reference &1 &2 &3 cannot be mapped - too many packed goods


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs in the context of handling packed goods in SAP, typically during delivery processing or packing activities. The system tries to map or assign a reference (such as a delivery item, handling unit, or packing reference) but fails because there are too many packed goods associated with that reference.

    In other words, the system cannot uniquely map the reference to a single packed good or handling unit because multiple packed goods exist for the same reference, causing ambiguity.

    Common causes include:

    • Multiple handling units or packed goods linked to the same reference number.
    • Incorrect or inconsistent packing data.
    • Data inconsistencies in the handling unit management (HUM) or packing process.
    • Custom code or user exits that incorrectly handle packing references.

    When does it occur?

    • During packing or unpacking processes.
    • When creating or changing deliveries with handling units.
    • When the system tries to assign or map references to packed goods but finds multiple candidates.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check the packing data:

      • Review the handling units and packed goods linked to the reference numbers mentioned in the error message.
      • Use transaction codes like HU03 (Display Handling Unit) or VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) to inspect packing details.
    2. Identify duplicates:

      • Look for multiple packed goods or handling units assigned to the same reference.
      • If duplicates exist, determine if they are valid or if they are caused by incorrect packing or data entry.
    3. Correct packing inconsistencies:

      • Remove or adjust the extra packed goods or handling units so that each reference maps uniquely.
      • If necessary, unpack and repack the goods correctly.
    4. Check custom code or user exits:

      • If custom enhancements are involved in packing or delivery processing, verify that they handle references correctly.
      • Debug or review the code to ensure it does not create multiple packed goods for the same reference improperly.
    5. Reprocess the delivery or packing:

      • After corrections, try to process the delivery or packing again.

    Additional Information:

    • This message is part of the Handling Unit Management (HUM) or packing process in SAP Logistics Execution (LE).
    • Proper packing and handling unit management are crucial for accurate delivery processing and shipping.
    • If the problem persists, consider checking OSS notes or SAP support for specific patches or known issues related to your SAP version.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error VHUAP152 Reference &1 &2 &3 cannot be mapped - too many packed goods
    Cause Multiple packed goods exist for the same reference, causing mapping ambiguity
    Solution Check and correct packing data, remove duplicates, verify handling units, fix custom code
