  W_CB230 - Action can not be carried out because the document still contains errors
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to perform an action (such as posting, saving, or processing) on a document in SAP, but the system detects that the document still contains errors or inconsistencies that must be resolved first.
  Common causes include:

  Validation errors triggered by custom or standard checks.
  Missing mandatory fields or incorrect field values.
  Inconsistent or conflicting data within the document.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Error Log or Messages:

  If your system has custom validations or user exits, check if these are causing the error.
  Coordinate with your SAP functional or technical team to review and adjust validations if necessary.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Document:
  
  After correcting the errors, try to perform the action again (e.g., save, post).
