SAP Message VHUPD085 - Not possible to pack material or sub-HUs

Diagnosis

It is not possible to pack material or sub-HUs.

Possible causes:

  • Packing, even of partial quantities, is not possible because of weight
    • and volume restrictions.
    • In the material master for the auxiliary packaging material, the
      • 'Material grouped packaging material' or 'Packaging material type' hasbeen incorrectly maintained or not maintained at all.
      • In Customizing, the view "Allowed packaging material categories
        • material grouped packaging material" has been incorrectly maintained ornot maintained at all.

        Example
        The following has to be packed:
        BOX (load carrier)
        MATERIAL 4711 (material)
        Settings:
        The box has material grouped packaging material "PAL", and packagingmaterial type "BOX".
        Material 4711 has material grouped packaging material "PAL".
        The material grouped packaging material specifies the packagingmaterial types permitted for the material:
        Material 4711 can only be packed in packaging material, to whichpackaging material type 'BOX' has been assigned. The material groupedpackaging material 'BOX' must therefore be assigned to material 4711.

        Procedure
        Check the material master records for the items to be packed (material,sub-HUs), and Customizing for Packing.
