This error indicates that a departure from a checkpoint cannot be processed because the associated goods movement has not yet been posted. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Pending Goods Movement: The error usually arises when there is a goods movement (like a goods receipt or goods issue) that has not been completed or posted in the system. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The goods movement is still in process.
  There are errors in the goods movement that need to be resolved.
  The goods movement was not saved or posted correctly.
  
  
  
  Checkpoint Configuration: The checkpoint from which the departure is being attempted may have specific configurations that require the goods movement to be posted before allowing departure.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Goods Movement Status:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction in SAP EWM to check the status of the goods movement associated with the checkpoint.
  Ensure that the goods movement is completed and posted. If it is still in process, complete the necessary steps to finalize it.
  
  
  
  Post Goods Movement:
  
  If the goods movement has not been posted, you may need to manually post it. This can typically be done through the appropriate transaction code (e.g., using the transaction for goods receipt or goods issue).
  
  
  
  Review Error Logs:
  
  Check for any error messages or logs that might provide more context on why the goods movement was not posted. This can help identify any underlying issues that need to be addressed.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:

  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user attempting to perform the departure has the necessary authorizations to post goods movements.
  
  
  
  System Restart:
  
  In some cases, a system restart or refresh may be required to clear any temporary issues that are preventing the posting of goods movements.
