  The SAP error message EEWMSDSM005 indicates that a sales order does not contain any distribution-relevant items.

  Cause:
  
  No Distribution-Relevant Items: The sales order may not have any items that are marked as distribution-relevant. This can happen if the items are not set up correctly in the material master or if they are not intended for distribution.
  Item Category: The item category of the sales order items may not be configured to allow for distribution. Certain item categories are not relevant for delivery processing.
  Sales Order Configuration: The sales order may have been created with items that are not intended for shipping or delivery, such as service items or items that are not stock-managed.
