  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE076 – Maintain Customizing for grouping of close-by plants
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system requires you to maintain the customizing settings for grouping close-by plants, but these settings have not yet been defined or are incomplete. The grouping of close-by plants is necessary for certain processes (e.g., warehouse management, inventory management, or logistics execution) where plants that are geographically or functionally close need to be treated as a group for operational efficiency.
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP, grouping close-by plants allows the system to optimize processes such as stock transfers, deliveries, or warehouse tasks by considering plants that are near each other as a single group. If this grouping is not maintained, the system cannot proceed with the related transaction or process, hence the error message.
  
  
  Solution:
  You need to maintain the customizing settings for the grouping of close-by plants. This is done in the SAP Implementation Guide (IMG).
