  WRF_CONS157: Select a receiving plant
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a receiving plant is not specified in a process that requires it. Typically, this happens in scenarios involving stock transfers, goods movements, or production orders where the system needs to know the destination plant for the materials or components but the field is left blank or incorrectly maintained.
  For example, in stock transport orders, transfer postings, or production order confirmations, the receiving plant must be defined to ensure the system knows where the goods are being sent or received.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Receiving Plant:
  
  When prompted by this message, you need to specify the receiving plant in the relevant field. This is usually done in the order or document header or item level, depending on the transaction.
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the material master and related master data (such as plant data, MRP views, and stock transport order settings) are correctly maintained and that the receiving plant is valid and active.
