  The SAP error message EE_SALES005 indicates that there is a missing function module for a specific set type in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or related modules where certain functionalities depend on custom or standard function modules that are not properly defined or maintained.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Function Module: The function module that is supposed to handle the specific set type (indicated by &1 in the error message) is not defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the set type may not be correctly set up, leading to the system being unable to find the required function module.
