  WT311: The "Only include goods issues" indicator is not set
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) processes, especially during the creation or processing of transfer orders or warehouse tasks related to goods movements.
  The message indicates that a process or report expects the "Only include goods issues" indicator (a specific selection or flag) to be set, but it is currently not set. This indicator usually filters or restricts the data to only include goods issue movements (i.e., stock going out of the warehouse), excluding other types of movements such as goods receipts or stock transfers.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  When running a report or transaction that requires filtering only goods issue movements, but the selection screen or parameters do not have the "Only include goods issues" checkbox selected.
  When customizing or configuring warehouse processes that expect this indicator to be set for certain operations.
  When a program or user exit expects this flag to be set but it is missing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Set the "Only include goods issues" Indicator:
  
  When running the transaction or report, look for the selection parameter or checkbox labeled "Only include goods issues" or similar.
