  SAP Error Message:
  WES_OUTBOUND312 No materials can be determined for material group &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP's Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system during outbound processing when the system tries to determine materials based on a specified material group but finds none.
  Possible reasons include:
  
  The material group specified in the outbound delivery or warehouse order does not contain any assigned materials.
  The material master data for the materials in the specified material group is incomplete or missing.
  The outbound delivery or warehouse order references a material group that is not maintained or incorrectly maintained.
  Customizing or configuration related to material groups in the warehouse or delivery process is missing or incorrect.
  The system is trying to pick or process materials from a material group that has no stock or no relevant materials available.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Group Assignment:
  
  Verify that the material group (&1) mentioned in the error message actually has materials assigned to it.
  Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) or MM60 (Material List) to check materials assigned to the material group.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the materials assigned to the material group are active and have the necessary warehouse management views maintained.
  Check if the materials have stock available in the warehouse.
  
  
  
  Check Warehouse Customizing:
  
  Review the configuration for material groups in the warehouse management or EWM system.
  Ensure that the material group is correctly maintained in the relevant customizing paths, e.g., in WM or EWM settings.
  
  
  
  Check Outbound Delivery / Warehouse Order:
  
  Verify that the outbound delivery or warehouse order references the correct material group.
  If the material group is used as a selection criterion, ensure it is valid and contains materials.
  
  
  
  Stock Availability:
  
  Confirm that there is stock available for the materials in the specified material group in the warehouse.
  Use transaction LX02 (Inventory Report) or MMBE (Stock Overview) to check stock levels.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs:
  
  If the above checks do not resolve the issue, debugging the process or checking application logs may help identify why no materials are found.
