  Error Message
  VHUAP248: The issue storage location cannot be an HU-managed storage location.
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to perform a goods issue or stock removal from a storage location that is HU-managed (Handling Unit managed), but the process or transaction you are executing does not support issuing from an HU-managed storage location.
  In SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or Warehouse Management (WM) integrated with Handling Units (HUs), certain processes require that the storage location from which goods are issued is not HU-managed, or that the handling units are properly managed during the issue.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  Attempting to issue stock directly from an HU-managed storage location without handling the HUs properly.
  The system configuration or process expects the issue storage location to be non-HU-managed.
  The process or transaction does not support HU-managed storage locations for issuing.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Settings:
  
  Verify if the storage location is marked as HU-managed.
  In transaction OMLS (Define Storage Locations), check the HU management indicator for the storage location.
  If the process requires a non-HU-managed storage location, consider using a different storage location or changing the configuration if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Process or Transaction:
  
  Use transactions or processes that support HU-managed storage locations.
  For goods issue or stock removal, ensure that handling units are properly managed and selected.
  If you are using a standard SAP process that does not support HU-managed storage locations, consider using EWM or WM processes that handle HUs.
  
  
  
  Configuration in Warehouse Management:
  
  In Warehouse Management, check the settings for HU management at the storage location level.
  If HU management is not required for the process, disable it for the storage location.
  Alternatively, adjust the process to handle HUs correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check for SAP Notes related to VHUAP248 for any patches or specific instructions.
