• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTBN018 - No nodes are assigned to pick-up and drop-off zones ?

  The SAP error message LTBN018 ("No nodes are assigned to pick-up and drop-off zones") typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics execution processes. This error indicates that the system cannot find any nodes (storage locations, bins, etc.) that are assigned to the specified pick-up and drop-off zones in the warehouse.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The pick-up and drop-off zones may not be properly configured in the system. This could be due to missing assignments or incorrect settings in the warehouse management configuration.
  Master Data Issues: The relevant master data (such as storage types, storage bins, or warehouse tasks) may not be set up correctly or may be incomplete.
  Warehouse Structure: The warehouse structure may not have been defined correctly, leading to a lack of nodes associated with the specified zones.
  Transport Unit Issues: If the transport units are not correctly defined or linked to the pick-up and drop-off zones, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
