This error indicates that there is no available capacity at the specified communication point (e.g., a storage bin or location) for the operation you are trying to perform, such as putting away goods.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Capacity: The communication point (e.g., storage bin) has reached its maximum capacity, and no additional items can be stored there.
  Configuration Issues: The storage type or bin may not be configured correctly to allow for the expected capacity.

  Use Alternative Bins: If the current bin is full, consider using alternative bins that have available capacity for the incoming goods.
  Review Warehouse Processes: Ensure that the warehouse processes are correctly set up to handle the incoming goods and that there are no bottlenecks in the workflow.
