This error indicates that the system does not allow the assignment of a handling unit to a specific order type due to configuration settings or business rules.

    Cause:

    2. Warehouse Management Settings: The warehouse management settings may restrict the use of handling units for certain order types.
    3. Business Rules: There may be specific business rules or processes in place that prevent the assignment of HUs to certain order types.
    4. Missing Customization: The system may not have been customized to handle HUs for the specific order type you are working with.

    Solution:

    1. Check Order Type Configuration:

      • Go to the configuration settings for the order type in SAP (Transaction code: SPRO).
      • Navigate to the relevant section for handling units and check if the order type is allowed to use HUs.

    4. Customization:

      • If the system is not customized to handle HUs for the order type, you may need to work with your SAP configuration team to implement the necessary changes.
    5. Testing:

      • After making any changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the issue is resolved and that HUs can be assigned to the order type as intended.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SPRO (for configuration), LT03 (for transfer orders), and HU02 (for handling unit management).
