    The SAP error message VHUMI145 indicates that there is an issue with packing materials and handling units (HUs) together in the system. This error typically arises when the system detects that the materials being packed are not compatible with the handling units due to various reasons.

    Causes of VHUMI145

    1. Material and HU Compatibility: The materials you are trying to pack may not be compatible with the handling units. This can happen if the materials have different characteristics or if the handling unit is not configured to handle those specific materials.

    2. Handling Unit Configuration: The handling unit may not be set up correctly in the system. For example, it may not have the necessary attributes or may not be defined to accept the specific materials.

    3. Packing Instructions: There may be packing instructions or rules defined in the system that prevent certain materials from being packed together with specific handling units.

    4. Stock Type Issues: The stock type of the materials (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) may not allow them to be packed into the handling unit.

    5. Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, there may be restrictions based on the batch characteristics of the materials.
