This error typically arises in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when the system encounters a situation where a distance value that should be non-negative is instead negative.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The standard distance might be incorrectly configured in the system settings or master data.

  Review Master Data: Inspect the master data for the relevant storage bins, products, and other entities to ensure that all values are correct and that there are no negative distances defined.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks to prevent negative values from being entered in the future. This could involve setting up validation rules in the system.
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to a manual entry, correct the negative value to a valid non-negative distance.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on how to handle standard distance settings in EWM.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the negative value is being generated.
