• 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:
  
  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.
  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.
  Incomplete Process: The handling unit may not have gone through all the necessary steps in the logistics process, such as being picked or packed.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the proper posting of goods issues for handling units.
  
  Solution:
  
  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.
  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.
  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.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes such as HU02 (Change Handling Unit) or VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) to check and update the handling unit status.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to handling units and goods issues.
  Error Logs: Check for any error logs or messages that may provide additional context on why the goods issue has not been posted.
