  Missing Geocoding Data: The primary cause of this error is that the locations you are trying to use do not have associated geocoding data (latitude and longitude coordinates) in the system.
  Incorrect Location Data: The locations may be incorrectly defined or may not exist in the geocoding database.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the geocoding service or the mapping of locations to geocoding levels.
  Data Synchronization: If the geocoding data is supposed to be synchronized from another system or database, there may be a failure in that synchronization process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Location Data: Verify that the locations you are trying to use are correctly defined in the system. Ensure that they exist in the relevant master data tables.
  Add Geocoding Information: If the locations are missing geocoding data, you will need to add the necessary geocoding information (latitude and longitude) for those locations. This can often be done through transaction codes like /SCMB/DDD_BUF_MAINT or similar, depending on your SAP version.
  Review Geocoding Configuration: Check the configuration settings for geocoding in your SAP system. Ensure that the geocoding service is properly set up and that the locations are mapped to the correct geocoding levels.
  Data Synchronization: If your system relies on external data sources for geocoding, ensure that the synchronization process is functioning correctly and that the data is up to date.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to manage geocoding data in your version of SAP SCM.
  
  Related Information:
