  Error Message
  VHUAP250: Handling Unit &1 is reserved for a different delivery
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to assign or use a Handling Unit (HU) that is already reserved or assigned to another delivery document in the system. Handling Units are unique containers or packaging units used in logistics processes, and SAP ensures that a single HU cannot be simultaneously assigned to multiple deliveries to avoid conflicts in shipping, tracking, and inventory management.
  In other words, the system detects that the HU number you are trying to use is already linked to a different delivery document, and therefore it cannot be reused or reassigned to the current delivery.
  
  Typical Scenarios Leading to This Error
