This error typically arises in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there are issues related to the inbound delivery process.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Data: The ASN reference may not be created due to missing or incorrect data in the inbound delivery or the ASN itself. This could include missing fields, incorrect item numbers, or other discrepancies.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the EWM system or the integration between EWM and the ERP system (like SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC).
  
  
  Status of the Inbound Delivery: The inbound delivery might be in a status that does not allow for ASN creation, such as being already processed or completed.
  
  
  Document Type Issues: The document type used for the inbound delivery may not be configured correctly to allow ASN creation.
