  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow or Business Logic scenarios where the system expects address details (such as a business partner's address, vendor address, or employee address) to be present but cannot find them in the database. The message indicates that the workflow or process step is trying to access address information that has not been maintained or is missing.
  Common causes include:  
  
  The business partner or object involved does not have address data maintained in the system.  
  The address data exists but is incomplete or not linked properly to the object.  
  The workflow step or function module expects address details but the relevant data has not been created or updated.  
  Custom code or configuration expects address details that are not available for the given object.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Address Master Data:  
  
  Verify that the address details exist for the relevant business partner, vendor, employee, or object in the system.  
  Use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner), XD03 (Display Customer), MK03 (Display Vendor), or PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to check if address data is maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Address Data:  
  
  If address details are missing, maintain them using the appropriate transaction.
