  VO213 - Material and plant required to calculate logistics load category
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to determine the logistics load category for a material but does not have sufficient data, specifically the Material and Plant information. The logistics load category is used in transportation planning and loading processes to classify materials based on their handling and loading characteristics.
  Typically, this error arises in scenarios such as:
  
  Creating or processing delivery documents (e.g., outbound deliveries, shipments).
  When the system attempts to calculate or assign the logistics load category but the material master or plant data is missing or incomplete.
  The material master record does not have the logistics load category maintained.
  The plant data for the material is missing or not correctly assigned.
