• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHUAP212 - Selected deliveries are delivered when moving HUs ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VHUAP212 - Selected deliveries are delivered when moving Handling Units (HUs)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to move Handling Units (HUs) that are already assigned to deliveries which have been fully processed or delivered. In other words, the system prevents the movement of HUs because the associated deliveries are in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., the delivery is already confirmed as delivered or goods issue has been posted).
  
  Explanation:
  
  Handling Units are linked to deliveries in SAP Logistics Execution.
  Once a delivery is completed (goods issue posted), the system locks the HUs related to that delivery to maintain data consistency.
  Attempting to move or change these HUs after delivery completion triggers this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Delivery Status:
  
  Verify the status of the deliveries linked to the HUs.
  Use transaction VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to check if the delivery is already delivered (Goods Issue posted).
  
  
  
  Avoid Moving HUs for Delivered Deliveries:
  
  Do not attempt to move or change HUs that belong to deliveries with posted goods issue.
  If changes are necessary, consider reversing the goods issue (if business process allows) using VL09 (Cancel Goods Issue) before moving HUs.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Process for HU Movement:
  
  For HUs not yet delivered, use transaction HU02 or VL02N to move or change HUs.
  Ensure that the deliveries are in an open status (not yet delivered).
  
  
  
  Check for System Customizing or User Exits:
  
  Sometimes, custom validations or user exits might enforce stricter checks.
  Review any custom code or enhancements related to HU movement.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  VL02N - Change Outbound Delivery
  VL03N - Display Outbound Delivery
  VL09 - Cancel Goods Issue
  HU02 - Change Handling Unit
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to HU handling and delivery status if the issue persists.
  
  
  
  Business Process:
  
  Understand the business process flow for deliveries and HU management to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  
  Authorization:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to move HUs and reverse goods issues if needed.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error VHUAP212 occurs because the system blocks movement of HUs linked to deliveries that are already delivered. The solution is to either avoid moving such HUs or reverse the delivery goods issue before attempting the move. Always verify delivery status and follow the correct process for HU handling.
