  SAP Error Message:
  WG160 - Add item not possible -> New document will be created
  
  
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs in the Warehouse Management (WM) module when you try to add an item to an existing transfer order (TO) or warehouse document, but the system cannot add the item to the current document because:

  The warehouse document is closed or the item belongs to a different warehouse number or storage location.
  
  In other words, the system cannot append the new item to the current document and therefore informs you that a new document will be created.
