Setting Library Storage Locations

Hi, can you please help regarding setting my Storage Locations to an external drive (FCPX 10.1.4). I want to work from a single external drive, so I obviously set my MEDIA to the external drive, but what about CACHE and BACKUPS? Is it best to leave these in the LIBRARY default, or should I also set them to my external drive in my project folder?
Thanks so much.

Cache should be on the media drive as well.
…any reason for that?
or, perhaps, I should ask in first place: What is cache of FCPX anyhow?
I thought, these are 'between data' of the app itself, therefor I thought, it's better placed in the fast lane = internal drive?
No?

Moved my library to an external hard drive. Now I get this message when trying to import video: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again.

I recently moved my iMovie Library and all of its contents to an external hard drive. I then erased the library and all of its contents from my iMac HD and created a new library. Now when I try to import video from my DV camera I get this message: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again. There is no way to set a storage location in Preferences. I have chosen an Event in the middle drop down box. But it still will not import. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My iTunes library is set up the way I said in the top post and works totally fine.
Yes, and that is the default structure to which I was referring. iTunes will organize it that way automatically unless people do start changing settings (in which case they should know what they are doing and how iTunes works with library files and media structure.)
Both ways work, the advantages of mine would be that should iTunes try looking fo a library, it will always be in the default location.
It makes people think they have to change media location in preferences. They do not unless they want to relocate media only and leave other things on their internal drive (in which case there is no point in copying library files to the external, and you certainly wouldn't want to then delete them from your internal).
Downside is that then should someone move their iTunes library to anther computer they need to remember to get those library files on the external hard drive.
Just copy the whole iTunes folder and it will get the library files to the other drive in one step, along with all the other files.
Your post has good stuff but it makes a move appear intimidating and look like people have to do a lot of organizing to move the collection. It also throws in extra steps (namely altering preference settings) that could cause confusion or even make a mess of things. If people leave iTunes to default preference settings (which most people do) the move summarizes into a short line: Copy a folder and hold an extra button the next time you start iTunes.
Note that the instructions in the link I provided earlier do also include many steps, but those are to ensure that everybody does have it all organized correctly before simply copying the iTunes folder. In the end it is just a simple action.

IDOC inbound: delivery confirm - set storage location at position

Hi all,
I have the issue to set with an inbound IDOC for shipping confirmation the storage location on item level. We are working with an external logistic provider so the final storage location where the goods are taken from is not not at creation time of the delivery. We have two possible storage locations.
EDI message type SDPICK cannot be used, there is no place for the storage location information LGORT.
So we tried SHPCON with process code DELV. FM: IDOC_INPUT_DELVRY
The field is in the IDOC type DELVRY03 but it is not used.
Do you have any idea how we could set the storage location on item level in the delivery with an incoming shipping / picking confirmation idoc?
Thanx a lot
regards
Hans

used a userexit in the inbound function module to get the IDOC field to the internal tables.

Hello All,
When create subcontracting PO, want to set the field of Issue storage location as mandatory.
I tried to find configuration "Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order-->Define Screen Layout at Document Level", but there is not entry "Issue storage location" to set the screen layout field.
I searched previous threads, but only find some to mention issue storage location for STO. Now, I just use subcontracting PO that is same as NB document type.
Please your kind suggestion or any method to set Issue storage location as mandatory in PO.
Thanks very much!

Storage location & backflush must be automatically set in Production order

Hi Guru's ,
While creating production order the storage location and backflush for the Components (ROH Articles) inside the Production order are manually selected.
Is there any way, where i can set them (storage location and backflush) as a default whenever i create a Producton order ??? This means whenever i enter the components in a production order the system must automatically show the Storage Location and backflush as ticked.
Pls help on this thing ....
Best Regards,
Gurpreet Singh Saini.

Hi,
To set the backflush always then in the material master MRP2 view set backflush " Always".
To set the automatic storage location then you can define the "Stock determination group".
This is will be help full if ur keeping material in more then one storage location.
If you are keeping in the single storage location then in the MRP2 view maintain the storage location in the "production storage location " filed.

Stock transfer between Plant/Storage location to Plant/Storage location

Dear Experts,
This is a MM component of SAP Retail.
We have 4 brands ( Plants of type B, Plants of type C etc) that needs inventory from the same Distribution center (Plant A) for some common products. Here the direction is to prioritize the inventory per brand. The requirement is one brand should not take the inventory of the other brand.
To overcome this problem , the solution proposed is to have different storage location for different brands in the same DC.
When we run replenishment planning for the brands and do a ATP check, the availability check should consider only the one issuing storage location in the DC which we allocated for the brand.
I do see the following set up in SPRO and I have done the following.
Step1: Activate Stock Transfer between Storage Locations SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> u2018Activate Stock transfer between storage locationsu2019
Step2: Assign Delivery Type and checking rule according to storage
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations->Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage
Step3: Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfer between Storage Locations

Step4: Define Rule for Determination off Shipping Point SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination->Define rule for determination of shipping point

Question.No:1- After completing the above set up in me21n, the issuing storage location field is greyed out. I am not able to enter any value here. Can you please help.
Question.No:2
I do see the following setting.
Under IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order -->Business Add-In for Determination of Issuing Storage Location
Display the IMPLEMENTATION
Double click on the method GET_SUPPLYING_SL
Click the Execute button
Click the detail button on IF_EX_MD_EXT_SUP

There is a prerequisite for this BADI .I have done those things.What i dont understand is where to force the combination of supplying site/issuing stor.loc/receiving site/receiving stor.loc
Kindly provide your inputs.

Can I assign several physical storage locations for each virtual machine when using the replication-feature from Hyper-V 2012 R2?

Hi everyone,
I have 2x physical servers running Hyper-V 2012 R2. Each hosts several virtual machines. The VHDs of the VMs are stored on several dedicated physical disks to have a performance boost. For exampe if VM A has two VHDs attached I made sure that the VHDs are
on different physical disks to have them not slow-down each other in case of intensive disk accesses.
So far so good. I was looking forward to the replication-feature. The idea is to have the two physical servers have their primary running VMs being replicated to the other physical server and vice-versa. I was hoping to have the chance to choose for each
individual VM where the replicated VHD will be stored. But instead I can only see the one location/path which is configured in Hyper-V Manager when I activate the replication-feature on the server.
Is there by any chance a way how to select the storage location for each VHD/VM if using the replication-feature of Hyper-V 2012 R2?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Secondly, you could replicate different VMs to different storage locations to perform some of the disk balancing you are trying to perform. Lastly, you could copy the vhd file to a different location
before starting the VM.

Hi Tim,
thanks for the reply. Sorry, but I had some other tasks to take care of, so I wasn't paying enough attention to this thread.
The part I quoted from your reply sounds exactly like the action I'd like to perform, but as you pointed out before this should not be possible.
How can I perform the action (replicating each VM to a storage location) as you mentioned secondly? To sum it up again:
2x physical machines carrying severel HDDs
8+ VMs spread to run on the 2x servers
when setting up replication I can only set the storage-location from server A on B and vice versa B on A
Thanks again for your reply.
Cheers,
Sebastian

CJ20N, auto-defaulted storage location at activity level

Hi all,
we have this problem at CJ20N (PS) screen.
At activity level, componenent overview, if user keys in the material no, a storage location is auto-defaulted
later we found out that if the material is extended to only 1 storage location, the storage will be auto-defaulted at componenet overwview, is there any setting to prevent the auto-defaulted storage .. pls advice

Hi,
Carry out these IMG steps:
SPRO
Logistic Execution
Basic Shipping Functions
Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination
Set Up Storage-Location Dependent Shipping Point Determination
Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location,,,,,,,,
Put in your combination of Shipping Conditions / Loading Group/ Plant/ Storage Location/ Proposed shipping point
Next time you create a Delivery document,, the system will pick up the above values from the Material/Customer master records and propose a Storage Location at line item number.
I just tried it and it works, let me know if this works.
Cheers,
Mohammed

Storage location control

Hi,
Based on our current requirement, the moment we create a sales order, an out bound delivery and TO should get create automatically, if stock is available. We are successfully acheiving this functionality. But system is creating out bound deliveries for the stock in GR interim area, and failing to create TO, since stock is not available in WH.
To avoid this, we are trying to use storage location control functionality. With this process we are facing below two problems.
We could not able set up configuration for multiple IM movemnt type for a storage type
number two the GR reversal process (with mvt 102) is not working. It is working when we do not confirm the TO which got created due GR posting with mvt 101. But when we confirm the TO and try to cancel material document in IM, WM process not completing.
Please advice.
With regards,
Prabhakar

Your cycle is: Sales order -> outbound delivery (automatic) -> picking of outbound delivery (automatic) -> Confirmation of TO (automatic).
It appears that in your system, the GR interim area is a separate storage location, and the warehouse is in a different storage location. So your technique of setting picking storage location is correct.
The IM movement in standard is 601, and the WM movement is also 601 During picking, the system is trying to pick up stock from the storage type mentioned in the storage type search strategy. If stocks are present there, then a TO will get created and confirmed.
It is not clear why you require multiple IM movemnt type for a storage type. I am afraid I havent understood your current setup.
Problem 2: GR reversal not working
When a GR is done, a 101 IM movement calls a 101 WM movement, and the stock gets moved to a storage type based on the search strategy. When this is cancelled via 102, a 102 WM movement is triggered (in standard). In case this is not happening in your system then you will have to check the problem.
Try posting the 102 movement material document, and then create the TO against the mat doc using LT06. You will be able to see the problem (TR not created / immediate TO creation not configured / immediate confirmation not set).

Storage Location for Movement type

Hi,
How do I set up Storage Location Can not Movement type '261' goods issue ?
Thanks

Thx for all yr replies ....
I do agree with yr statements ....
103 doesn't update inventory at storage location level therefore it doesn't make sense to have storage location at the time of 103.
But at our end , we are using 103 for MIGO data entry by store user and 105 for MIGO approval .Store users are the right person who are enter correct storage location to which material should go.Therefore looking for a way thru which store user can enter storage lcoation at the time of 103 only.
Since approvers or purchaser are not very sure about the correct storage lcoation to which material should move therefore storage location at PO level or 105 level will not help me.
Any work around ??

MRP to ecxlude storage location stock and read only requirement

Hi All,
Below is the requirement for raw material,
Have two storage locations A and B.
For storage location A, MRP should exclude stock but has to consider demand's at A (dependent requirements, order reservations) and create MRP elements (purchase requisitions, scheduling agreements etc.).
SLOC B has to consider as normal for MRP (should read demand and stock as well).
Please suggest if it is doable, if yes; how to set the storage location A, so that it just read the demands but exclude stock.
Setting up only "SLOC Indicator" 1 in MRP 4 view is not the option I believe.
Thank you.

Can someone please suggest on below requirement,
How to make the settings at material level so that for a storage location 'A', MRP will just read/consider the demand but exclude the stock.
Is it feasible?

Deepak Girme

Trx for opening a storage location.

Hi,
is there a trx for opening multiple storage locations for the same material

Best regards

U can extend a material to number of storage location by using tcode MMSC.
OR u can use create sloc automatically during first GR

Filling the storage location field

Hi
can any one tell me the use ogf this exit MBCF0009
and how to use this one

This is what the Documentation for the Function module in this exit says:
'Short Text
Customer Function Call: Set Storage Location
The enhancement MBCF0009 enables you to set a storage location. It is
    called up when a goods movement requires a storage location or the goods
    movement is entered online with inventory management transactions (that
    is, the user exit is not processed from the function module
    MB_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT).
All the data available is transferred (item data and header data). The
    storage location determined is returned. This may be carried out by
    setting *, for example, so that storage location determination or stock
    determination, if this is set, is run. But you can also explicitly set a
    storage location.
Example 1:
    Cost center 1 withdraws stock from storage location 0001; cost center 2
    withdraws stock from storage location 2, and so on. In the case of goods
    receipts, you can define the storage location depending on the stock
    type.
Example 2:
    Unrestricted stock in storage location 0001, stock in quality inspection
    in storage location 0002.
For a coding example, choose Goto -> Sample code from the component
    display.                                                                 "

Replenishment between Storage Location with MRP Planning

Dear PP Gurus,
I need you expertise on the below question.
I have a plant with multiple Storage Locations. One Storage Location is Main Warehouse and another ilocation s External Warehouse (3PL) where excess stock are kept due to storage capacity in the Main Warehouse.
Now the requirement is replenish the stock to Main Warehouse from the External Warehouse with Stock Transfer using MRP trigger the Stock Transfer.
I know the setting in MRP 4 View in the material master, the Indicator to set to 2, maintain a reoder point in the Sloc: 1200 and Replenishment Qty: 1500 and Special Procurement Type: (what should be the setting)
My question is where to set the target Sloc and source Sloc, then only system will trigger the replenishment Stock Transfer?
The storage location which is plan separately, will have a different segment. Therefore, in terms of the availability check for the Sales Order it will consider as normal based on the scope of check.
Appreciate the reply
Thanks & Regards
Pooja

Dear ,
1.You need to set up the MRP for Plant with group of storage location and run MRP-MD01 .You can try SCOPE of planning -OM0E.
As an information : In standard MRP I, f you have several storage location for your plant, you cannot plan for them separately unless you assign them to a separate MRP area.If a storage location (alone) is assigned to an MRP area, it means you wan to plan for it separately. If several storage locations are assigned to an MRP area (or let's say to a plant), it means you want to plan using all of them - and you cannot choose only one and plan for it (you can exclude a SLoc from planning w/o assigning it to MRP area).
2.Find steps for config for activating Sloc to Sloc transfer within plant using STO : -
follow path: SPRO--> Materials Management -->Purchasing -->Purchase Order -->Set up Stock Transport Order -->Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
1. Activate Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
2. Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage Location
purchase document category 'F' , here use PO type UB, supplying plant, issue sloc and delivery type , (prefer to create new delivery type by copying delivery type 'NL' replenish delivery
3. Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers Between Storage Locations
for plant defind sales org and distribution chenal and devision
select the pline and go to sloc
assign there customer (created for sloc)
4. Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point
for newly created delivery type set L storage location specific shiping poing determination
5. Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location, assign her sloc based shiping poing determination
at last when you will create PO put issue storage location, system will determine shiping data based on config done.
after this process will be same as STO plant to plant using shiping.
You will need to mention the issuing storage location during posting the delivery,
ie, ME21N - Create STO
VL10B - Create Delivery
VL02N - Post Goods issue - here you will need to mention the issuing storage location
Refer : STO process -Std in SAP
Hope it is clear to you .
