This error indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the movement of goods in the warehouse, specifically regarding the allowed processes for stock movements.

  Configuration Settings: The warehouse management system may not be configured to allow either the pull (removal of stock from storage) or push (putting stock into storage) processes for the specific warehouse or storage type.
  Warehouse Process Types: The process types for the warehouse may not be set up correctly, leading to restrictions on how stock can be moved.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the pull or push processes.

  Review Process Types:
