• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHUMI155 - HU & contains items of HU-managed and non HU-managed storage locations ?

  The SAP error message VHUMI155 indicates that there is a conflict between handling units (HUs) that contain items from both HU-managed and non-HU-managed storage locations. This situation arises when you attempt to perform operations (like goods movements, transfers, or inventory management) involving handling units that are not compatible due to the differing management methods.
  Cause:
  
  Mixed Storage Locations: The handling unit contains items that are stored in both HU-managed and non-HU-managed storage locations. This can happen if the items in the handling unit are from different storage types or if the configuration of the storage locations allows for both types of management.
  Configuration Issues: The storage location settings in the SAP system may not be properly configured to handle mixed storage types.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the master data for the materials involved, such as incorrect settings for HU management.
  
  Solution:
  
  Separate Handling Units: Ensure that handling units only contain items from either HU-managed or non-HU-managed storage locations. You may need to create separate handling units for items that belong to different management types.
  Review Storage Location Settings: Check the configuration of the storage locations involved. Ensure that they are set up correctly in the system to handle the types of items being managed.
  Adjust Inventory Management Processes: If your business processes allow, consider adjusting how inventory is managed to avoid mixing HU-managed and non-HU-managed items in the same handling unit.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the material master data to ensure that the settings for HU management are correctly defined for each material.
