This error indicates that the system is unable to find the necessary selection data to determine the material document associated with a handling unit.

    Causes:

    1. Missing or Incorrect Handling Unit Data: The handling unit may not have been created correctly, or the data associated with it may be incomplete or incorrect.
    2. Material Document Not Created: The material document that should be linked to the handling unit may not have been created or may have been deleted.
    3. Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to retrieve the material document may not match any existing records.
