VLA071 - Details

• The SAP error message VLA071 indicates that a storage location requires handling units (HUs) for inventory management, and as a result, a partial goods receipt cannot be processed. This typically occurs in scenarios where the storage location is configured to manage stock using handling units, and the system is unable to process a goods receipt without complete handling units.
  
  Cause:
  
  Storage Location Configuration: The storage location is set up to require handling units for inventory management. This means that all stock movements must be done using HUs.
  Partial Goods Receipt Attempt: The user is attempting to perform a partial goods receipt, which is not allowed when HUs are required.
  Handling Unit Management Settings: The settings in the material master or storage location may enforce the requirement for handling units.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Complete Goods Receipt: Instead of attempting a partial goods receipt, ensure that the entire quantity of the handling unit is received at once.
