Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Freight Unit (FU): The system requires a Freight Unit to be created before a freight document can be generated. If no Freight Unit exists for the shipment, this error will occur.

  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the Transportation Management settings that prevent the creation of FUs or TUs.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Freight Units:

  Review Shipment Data: 
  
  Check the shipment details to ensure that all required data is correctly entered and that there are no missing fields that could prevent the creation of FUs or TUs.
