• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHUAP223 - Goods receipt posting only possible for HUs that are selected ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VHUAP223: Goods receipt posting only possible for HUs that are selected:
  
  Error Message
  VHUAP223: Goods receipt posting only possible for HUs that are selected
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the goods receipt posting process in SAP when handling Handling Units (HUs). The system expects that only the Handling Units (HUs) which have been explicitly selected in the transaction are processed for the goods receipt posting.
  If you attempt to post a goods receipt for HUs that are not selected (i.e., not marked or flagged in the selection screen or HU list), the system will throw this error to prevent unintended posting.
  In other words, the system enforces that only those HUs which the user has actively chosen (selected) can be posted in the goods receipt. This is a control mechanism to avoid accidental posting of incorrect or unintended HUs.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During the Goods Receipt (GR) process for Handling Units in Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  When using transactions or processes that involve HU selection, such as:
  
  Post Goods Receipt for Purchase Order with HUs
  HU-based goods movements
  
  
  If the user tries to post without selecting any HU or tries to post HUs that are not selected.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix
  
  
  Select the Handling Units explicitly:
  
  In the HU selection screen or list, make sure to select (tick/mark) the Handling Units you want to post.
  Only the selected HUs will be processed for goods receipt posting.
  
  
  
  Check the selection criteria:
  
  Verify that the selection criteria or filters applied in the HU list are correct and that the HUs you want to post are visible and selectable.
  
  
  
  Review the transaction steps:
  
  Follow the correct procedure for HU selection and posting.
  For example, in transaction codes like VL32N, MIGO, or warehouse-specific transactions, ensure you mark the HUs before posting.
  
  
  
  If using custom programs or enhancements:
  
  Check if any custom logic or user-exits/enhancements are interfering with HU selection or posting.
  Ensure that the program logic respects the selection of HUs.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes or OSS:
  
  If the problem persists despite correct selection, check for relevant SAP Notes or patches that might address bugs or known issues related to HU posting.
