  The SAP error message G00082 indicates that there is an issue with the data transfer method for a consumption unit (cons unit) in the system. This error typically arises in the context of logistics, inventory management, or production planning, where the system is trying to process data related to a specific consumption unit but cannot find a suitable data transfer method.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data Transfer Method: The system does not have a defined data transfer method for the specified consumption unit.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the correct data transfer method from being identified or used.
