• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSTCP_FWTR004 - Not possible to create a sales order for zero bonds ?

  The SAP error message FSTCP_FWTR004 indicates that the system is unable to create a sales order because the quantity of bonds being processed is zero. This typically occurs in scenarios where a sales order is expected to have a positive quantity of items (in this case, bonds) but the input provided is zero.
  Cause:

  Check Quantity: Ensure that the quantity of bonds being entered is greater than zero. If you intended to sell bonds, make sure to specify a positive quantity.
  Review Input Data: If the quantity is being pulled from another system or process, verify that the data source is providing the correct values.
  Adjust Business Logic: If there is a legitimate reason to create a sales order with zero quantity (e.g., for informational purposes), you may need to adjust the business logic or configuration in SAP to allow this. However, this should be done with caution and in accordance with business requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or user manuals for the specific transaction you are working with to ensure compliance with expected input formats and values.
