  Missing Freight Term: The most common cause of this error is that the freight term field is left blank in the relevant document (e.g., transportation request, shipment, or freight order).
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of freight terms in the system, leading to the requirement not being recognized or enforced properly.
  User Input Error: Users may inadvertently skip entering the freight term due to oversight or misunderstanding of the required fields.

  Ensuring that the freight terms are defined and assigned correctly to the relevant transportation scenarios.
  
  
  User Training: Provide training or documentation to users to ensure they understand the importance of entering freight terms and how to do so correctly.
