This error typically arises when you attempt to perform operations such as packing, shipping, or transferring handling units that have mixed stock categories.

  Adjust Stock Categories: If applicable, consider adjusting the stock categories of the items (e.g., moving items from quality inspection to unrestricted stock) to allow them to be packed together. However, this should be done with caution and in accordance with your organization's inventory management policies.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling units and stock categories to ensure compliance with best practices.
