The message states that the cleaning object does not have an associated address, which can lead to issues in processing or managing the cleaning objects in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Address Data: The cleaning object referenced in the error does not have an address assigned to it in the database. This could be due to data inconsistencies or incomplete data entry.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are not properly set up, leading to the system not being able to find or associate an address with the cleaning object.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Cleaning Object Configuration:

  Run a consistency check on the cleaning objects to identify any other potential issues. This can often be done through specific reports or transactions designed for data validation.
