This can happen during various operations, such as goods movements, inventory management, or integration with other SAP modules.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Item Type Configuration: The item type specified in the error message (&1) has not been defined in the system. This could be due to a configuration oversight or an incomplete setup.
  Data Transfer Issues: If the error occurs during data transfer from another system (like SAP ERP), it may indicate that the item type was not correctly transferred or does not exist in the target system.
  Incorrect Master Data: The material master data may not be correctly maintained, leading to the system not recognizing the item type.

  Data Transfer Validation:
