  SAP Error Message:
  VO216 Matl/plant/storage loc. &/&/&: warehouse segment missing in matl master
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a Warehouse Management (WM) related transaction (such as creating or changing a material document, transfer order, or posting goods movement) and the system cannot find the warehouse management (WM) data segment for the specified material, plant, and storage location combination in the material master.
  In SAP, for WM-managed storage locations, the material master must contain a warehouse management segment (also called the WM data or warehouse data) for the relevant plant and storage location. This segment links the material to the warehouse number and storage type, enabling WM processes.
