  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:

  Ensure that the packaging volume is set to a value that is less than or equal to the tare volume.

  Review Packaging Material:
  
  Check the specifications of the packaging material being used. Ensure that the tare volume is correctly defined for the packaging material.
  If necessary, update the packaging material data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant SAP documentation or guidelines regarding packaging and shipping product configurations to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs when processing the shipping product.
