• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI422 - Additional not active: see long text ?

  The SAP error message WTADDI422 - Additional not active: see long text typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) processes, especially when dealing with transfer postings, goods movements, or warehouse tasks.
  
  Cause
  The error WTADDI422 indicates that an additional indicator (often a special stock indicator, movement type, or warehouse process type) required for the transaction is not active or not maintained in the system.

  Common scenarios include:
  
  The additional indicator (e.g., special stock indicator, batch management indicator, or warehouse process type) is not activated in the customizing.
  The movement type or warehouse process type used requires an additional indicator that is not maintained.
  The system configuration for the warehouse or inventory process is incomplete or inconsistent.
