  SAP Error Message:
  WSTP033 - Deposit calculation not possible because of missing empties BOM
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the deposit calculation process in SAP when the system tries to determine the deposit amount for a product but cannot find a Bill of Materials (BOM) for the empties (returnable packaging or containers) associated with the product. The deposit calculation depends on the BOM of empties to identify the components (e.g., bottles, crates) that carry a deposit value.
  In other words, the system expects a BOM for the empties material to calculate the deposit, but this BOM is missing or not maintained.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Deposit Calculation: In industries like beverage or chemical, products often come with returnable packaging (empties) that have a deposit value.
  Empties BOM: The BOM for empties lists the packaging components that are subject to deposit.
  If the BOM for the empties material is missing, SAP cannot calculate the deposit amount, hence the error.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain the Empties BOM:
