  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG474 - Processing of article &2 and site &3 failed because of other error items
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs during the processing of articles (materials) and sites (plants) in SAP, typically in the context of warehouse management, inventory management, or related logistics processes. The message indicates that the system could not complete the processing for the specified article (&2) and site (&3) because there are other error items related to the same article and site that have not been resolved.
  In other words, the system detected that there are existing error records or inconsistencies for the same article and site combination, which prevent further processing until those errors are cleared.
  Common causes include:
  
  Previous errors in warehouse tasks or inventory postings that have not been corrected.
  Incomplete or inconsistent data in warehouse management or inventory tables.
  Conflicts in stock or transfer postings for the article at the specified site.
  Errors in related documents (e.g., transfer orders, delivery documents) that block further processing.
  
  
  Where It Occurs
  
  Warehouse Management (WM) processes such as transfer order processing.
  Inventory management transactions involving stock movements.
  Material document postings related to the article and site.
  Possibly during batch or serial number processing if linked to the article/site.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Check Related Error Items:
  
  Identify and analyze the other error items related to the same article and site.

  Correct or Delete Error Items:
  
  Depending on the error, you may need to:
