  SAP Error Message:
  WG303 - Selected plant must be a distribution center
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you select a plant in a process or transaction that requires the plant to be defined as a Distribution Center (DC), but the selected plant is not set up as a distribution center in the system.
  In SAP, a Distribution Center is a special type of plant used in Warehouse Management (WM) and Logistics Execution (LE) processes. Certain transactions, especially those related to warehouse management, stock transfers, or delivery processing, require the plant to be flagged as a distribution center.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system checks the plant master data to verify if the plant is configured as a distribution center.
  If the plant is not marked as a distribution center, the system throws the WG303 error.
  This is common in processes like creating warehouse tasks, transfer orders, or delivery documents where the plant must be linked to a warehouse.
