  The SAP error message VHURM046 indicates that a handling unit (HU) is not provided for a goods receipt (GR) process. This error typically occurs when you are trying to post a goods receipt for a delivery or an inbound shipment, but the system cannot find the specified handling unit.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Handling Unit: The handling unit specified in the transaction is either not created or not available in the system.
  Incorrect Handling Unit Number: The handling unit number entered may be incorrect or does not exist in the system.
  Handling Unit Status: The handling unit may be in a status that does not allow it to be used for goods receipt (e.g., it might be already posted or in a different process).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the handling unit management settings that prevent the system from recognizing the handling unit.
