• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB070 - Intermediate structure & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message WB070, which states "Intermediate structure & does not exist," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when dealing with the creation or processing of intermediate structures in the context of data transfer or data processing, particularly in the context of the SAP Logistics module.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Intermediate Structure: The most common cause of this error is that the intermediate structure that is being referenced does not exist in the system. This can happen if the structure was not created, was deleted, or if there is a typo in the name of the structure being referenced.
  Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, the error can arise from incorrect configuration settings in the system that reference the intermediate structure.
  Transport Issues: If the structure was recently transported from another system (like a development system to a production system), it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Structure Existence: Verify if the intermediate structure exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (like SE11 for Data Dictionary) and checking for the structure by its name.
  Create the Structure: If the structure does not exist, you may need to create it. This involves defining the structure in the Data Dictionary (SE11) and ensuring it has the correct fields and data types.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings that reference the intermediate structure to ensure they are correct and pointing to the right structure.
  Transport Check: If the structure was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was included and activated in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and view the intermediate structure.
