  SAP Error Message:
  VO720 Unexpected return code SD_WHS_POSITION_LOAD_GET: &
  
  1. Cause
  This error typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) processes when the system calls the function module or method SD_WHS_POSITION_LOAD_GET and receives an unexpected return code.
  
  The function/module SD_WHS_POSITION_LOAD_GET is used to retrieve warehouse position or storage bin information related to sales and distribution (SD) delivery documents.
  The unexpected return code indicates that the function module did not execute as expected, possibly due to:
  
  Missing or inconsistent data in the delivery document or warehouse master data.
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration in the warehouse or SD integration.
  Custom enhancements or user exits that interfere with standard processing.
  Authorization issues or missing data in related tables.
  System inconsistencies or transport errors.
  
  
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  a) Check the Return Code Details
  
  The message contains a placeholder & which should be replaced by the actual return code or error message.
  Look into the short dump (transaction ST22) or application log (transaction SLG1) to find the exact return code or error details.
  Identify what the return code means (e.g., a specific error number or message).
  
  b) Verify Delivery and Warehouse Data
  
  Check the delivery document for completeness and correctness.
  Verify that the warehouse number, storage type, and bin information are correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the warehouse master data is consistent and active.
  
  c) Check Configuration
  
  Review the integration settings between SD and WM/EWM.
  Verify that the warehouse determination and storage bin determination are correctly configured.
  Check if the function module SD_WHS_POSITION_LOAD_GET is called in a custom enhancement or user exit and if the custom code handles all scenarios properly.
  
  d) Debugging
  
  If you have development access, debug the function module SD_WHS_POSITION_LOAD_GET to see why it returns an unexpected code.
  Check the input parameters and the internal logic.
  
  e) Authorization
  
  Ensure the user executing the process has the necessary authorizations to access warehouse data.
