• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PRC_BAS004 - Empties processing not available in this transaction ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_PRC_BAS004: Empties processing not available in this transaction
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to process "empties" (i.e., returnable packaging materials such as bottles, crates, pallets) in a transaction or process where empties processing is not configured or allowed. The system is indicating that the current transaction does not support or is not set up for handling empties.
  In SAP, empties processing is typically part of the logistics and sales processes where returnable packaging is managed separately from the main goods movements. If the transaction or document type you are using does not have empties processing enabled, this error will be triggered.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Trying to post a goods movement or sales document that involves empties, but the transaction type or movement type does not support empties.
  Using a custom or standard transaction that is not configured for empties processing.
  Missing configuration in the system for empties handling in the relevant sales area,
