Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB358 - Unit &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  W_CB358 Unit &1 does not exist
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Logistics Execution (LE), Warehouse Management (WM), or Transportation Management (TM) modules when the system cannot find a specified unit (such as a handling unit, packaging unit, or transportation unit) in the database.
  
  Cause
  
  The unit number (handling unit or transportation unit) referenced in the process or transaction does not exist in the system.
  The unit may have been deleted, not yet created, or the number entered is incorrect.
  There might be a mismatch between the unit number in the document and the actual units maintained in the system.
  In some cases, the unit master data might be incomplete or not properly saved.
  The unit might belong to a different client or organizational unit, causing the system to not find it in the current context.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Verify the Unit Number:
  
  Check the unit number (&1 in the message) for typos or incorrect entry.
  Confirm that the unit number exists in the system by searching in the relevant transaction (e.g., HU03 for Handling Units).
  
  
  
  Check Unit Master Data:
  
  Use transaction codes like HU03 (Display Handling Unit) or VT03N (Display Shipment) to verify the existence and status of the unit.
  If the unit does not exist, create it if necessary using the appropriate transaction (e.g., HU01 to create Handling Units).
  
  
  
  Check Document Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the document or process referencing the unit is consistent and that the unit is assigned correctly.
  For example, in delivery or shipment documents, verify that the handling units are properly assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Organizational Data:
  
  Verify that the unit belongs to the correct client, plant, or warehouse number.
  Sometimes, units created in one organizational area are not visible in another.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Restore the Unit:
  
  If the unit was accidentally deleted or corrupted, recreate it or restore from backup if possible.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Technical Analysis:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the program or checking the application logs (transaction SLG1) may help identify why the system cannot find the unit.
  Check for any user exits or custom code that might affect unit handling.
