This error indicates that the system is unable to determine the appropriate destination storage type for a given source storage type during a putaway process.
  Cause:

  Review Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data is correctly maintained. This includes checking the storage types, storage bins, and any other related master data.
  
  
  Define Storage Type Determination: If the destination storage type is not being determined correctly, you may need to define or adjust the storage type determination rules. This can be done in the EWM customizing settings.
  
  
  Check Warehouse Process Types: Verify that the warehouse process types are correctly set up to handle the putaway process for the specific source storage type.
