  The SAP error message L3373, "Error in preparation of TO processing via group," typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) when there is an issue with the transfer order (TO) processing. This error can arise due to various reasons, including configuration issues, data inconsistencies, or problems with the transfer order itself.
  Causes:
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the warehouse management configuration can lead to this error. This includes settings related to the transfer order processing or the warehouse structure.
  Data Inconsistencies: If there are inconsistencies in the master data (like material master, storage location, etc.) or transaction data (like stock levels), it can cause issues during TO processing.
  Transfer Order Status: The status of the transfer order may not allow for processing. For example, if the TO is already completed or canceled, it cannot be processed again.
  Group Processing Issues: If the TO is being processed in a group and there are issues with one of the TOs in the group, it can lead to this error.
