  The SAP error message VHUMI152 indicates that a handling unit (HU) cannot be packed in a handling unit-managed storage location. This typically occurs when you are trying to pack items into a handling unit in a storage location that is configured to manage handling units, but the items or materials you are trying to pack are not compatible with this setup.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Location Configuration: The storage location is set up to manage handling units, but the material or item you are trying to pack does not have the necessary handling unit management settings.
  Material Master Settings: The material you are trying to pack may not be defined as a handling unit-managed material in the material master record.
  Packing Instructions: There may be packing instructions or rules that prevent the packing of certain materials into handling units.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Storage Location Settings: Verify that the storage location is indeed set up for handling unit management. You can do this in the configuration settings of your SAP system.
  Review Material Master Data: Ensure that the material you are trying to pack is set up correctly in the material master. Check the following:

  Adjust Packing Instructions: If there are specific packing instructions that are causing the issue, review and adjust them as necessary.
  Use Compatible Storage Locations: If the material cannot be packed in the current storage location, consider using a different storage location that is not handling unit-managed or that is compatible with the material.
