  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The main bin may not have been properly configured to include sub-bins. This can happen if the warehouse structure was not set up correctly.
  Master Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing entries in the master data related to the warehouse, bins, or storage types.
  Warehouse Process Configuration: The warehouse process may require sub-bins for certain operations, and if they are not defined, the system will throw this error.
