  SAP Error Message: WFD_BL_MSG030 - The address ID cannot be empty
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a workflow or business logic process in SAP tries to process or use an address ID field that is empty or not populated. In SAP, many business objects or processes require a valid address ID (such as a partner address, vendor address, or customer address) to proceed. If the address ID is missing, the system cannot continue and throws this error.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Workflow steps that require an address ID for notification or processing.
  Business partner master data or vendor/customer master data where the address ID is mandatory.
  Custom developments or enhancements where address ID is expected but not provided.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Address ID Field:
  
  Identify the transaction or process where the error occurs.
  Verify that the address ID field is correctly filled in the relevant master data or document.
  If the address ID is missing, enter the correct address ID.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow or Program Logic:
  
  If this error occurs in a workflow, check the workflow container or the step where the address ID is passed.
  Ensure that the address ID is correctly fetched and passed to the workflow step.
  Debug the workflow or program to find where the address ID is lost or not set.
  
  
  
  Master Data Maintenance:
  
  For business partners, vendors, or customers, ensure that the address data is maintained properly.
  Use transactions like BP (Business Partner), XK03 (Display Vendor), or FD03 (Display Customer) to check address details.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If custom code is involved, verify that the address ID is being set before the relevant step.
  Add validations to prevent empty address IDs from being processed.
