  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHUMI017 - No GI posted for HU ?

    The SAP error message VHUMI017: No GI posted for HU typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the SAP system, particularly when there is an attempt to perform a goods issue (GI) for a handling unit that has not been properly processed or has not had a goods issue posted against it.

    Cause:

    1. No Goods Issue Posted: The handling unit (HU) you are trying to process does not have a goods issue posted against it. This means that the system does not recognize that the goods have been issued from inventory.
    2. Incorrect HU Status: The status of the handling unit may not allow for a goods issue. For example, it may still be in a status that indicates it is not ready for GI.
    3. Incomplete Process: The handling unit may not have gone through all the necessary steps in the logistics process, such as being picked or packed.
    4. System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the proper posting of goods issues for handling units.

    Solution:

    1. Check HU Status: Verify the status of the handling unit in the system. Ensure that it is in a status that allows for a goods issue.
    2. Post Goods Issue: If the handling unit has not had a goods issue posted, you will need to perform the goods issue transaction for the handling unit before attempting to process it further.
    3. Review Process Steps: Ensure that all necessary steps in the logistics process have been completed for the handling unit. This may include picking, packing, and confirming the handling unit.
    4. Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes such as HU02 (Change Handling Unit) or VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) to check and update the handling unit status.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to handling units and goods issues.
    6. Error Logs: Check for any error logs or messages that may provide additional context on why the goods issue has not been posted.

    Related Information:

    • Handling Units (HUs): In SAP, handling units are used to manage the physical handling of goods. They can represent pallets, boxes, or any other type of packaging.
    • Goods Issue (GI): This is the process of removing stock from inventory, typically in preparation for shipping to a customer or another location.
    • Logistics Execution (LE): The error is often encountered in the Logistics Execution module of SAP, which deals with the movement of goods and inventory management.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to handling units and goods issues.
