  SAP Error Message:
  WSTP026 - Deposit not maintained for empties material &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to process a transaction involving an empties material (a material that requires a deposit, such as bottles, crates, or containers), but the deposit amount or condition has not been maintained in the system for that material.
  In SAP, empties materials often require a deposit to be collected or refunded. The system checks if the deposit condition record exists for the material. If it does not find any deposit maintained for the empties material, it throws this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order processing, delivery, or billing involving empties materials.
  When the system tries to determine the deposit amount for the empties material but cannot find the relevant condition record.
  In processes related to deposit management in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) or MM (Materials Management).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Deposit Condition Records:
  
  Go to Transaction Code VK11 (Create Condition).
  Select the appropriate condition type for deposit (often condition type like DEP1 or a custom condition type used for deposits).
  Enter the empties material number (&1 in the error message) and maintain the deposit amount.
  Save the condition record.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Verify that the material is flagged as an empties material if required.
  Check the material master data in MM03 under Sales: Sales Org. 2 or Basic Data views to ensure the empties indicator is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document includes the deposit condition type.
  Verify that the condition type is active and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Customer Master:
  
  Sometimes, deposit conditions depend on customer or customer-material info records. Verify if any such dependencies exist and maintain accordingly.
  
  
  
  Test the Process:
  
  After maintaining the deposit condition, try to process the transaction again.
