This error indicates that there are item proposals that do not have plant-specific data, and the system is expecting this data to be present.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  Item Proposals: The system is trying to process item proposals that lack plant-specific information (e.g., the plant code).
  Initial Plant Data: The is_mm_data-werks field is empty or not populated, which means the system cannot determine the plant for the item.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or item proposal settings that prevent the system from retrieving the necessary plant-specific data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Maintain Item Proposals:

  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in EWM related to item proposals and handling units. Ensure that the settings are aligned with your business processes and that they require plant-specific data where necessary.
