This error can arise in various scenarios, such as during goods movements, stock transfers, or when trying to perform a physical inventory count.
  Causes:
  
  Non-Existent Lot: The lot number you are trying to reference does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo or because the lot was never created.
  Lot Deletion: The lot may have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for the current transaction.
  Incorrect Plant/Storage Location: The lot may exist, but it is not available in the specified plant or storage location.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the lot.

  Solutions:
  
  Verify Lot Number: Double-check the lot number for any typographical errors. Ensure that you are using the correct format and that it exists in the system.
  Check Lot Status: Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or MSC3N (Display Batch) to check if the lot exists and its status.

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the lot. Consult with your SAP security team if needed.
  Consult with IT Support: If the lot should exist but is not found, there may be a need to check for data integrity issues or synchronization problems with other systems.
  Create the Lot: If the lot does not exist and is required for your process, you may need to create it using the appropriate transaction (e.g., MSC1N for creating a batch).
