  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHUMI061 - HU assigned in current call. Deletion of assignment not possible ?

    The SAP error message VHUMI061 indicates that a Handling Unit (HU) is currently assigned in the system, and therefore, it cannot be deleted or unassigned in the current context. This error typically arises when you attempt to delete or modify a Handling Unit that is still linked to a process or transaction.

    Causes:

    4. Incorrect Process Flow: The attempt to delete the HU may not follow the correct sequence of operations as defined in the SAP system.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Assignments: Verify if the Handling Unit is assigned to any open deliveries, shipments, or other processes. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes (e.g., VL03N for deliveries).
    2. Complete Transactions: If the HU is part of an open transaction, complete or cancel that transaction before attempting to delete the HU.
    3. Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction for unassigning or deleting the HU. For example, use the appropriate transaction for handling units (e.g., HU management transactions).
