Storage Location Default for Components in IW31

When I add a Non-stock item to the Work Order under the Components tab, I want it to default in the one and only Storage Location we have.
I read where I should be able to do that by going in SU3 under the parameters tab and inserting LAG along with the value I want (TH1). I did that part successfully, and exited and logged back in. However, now when I add a component to the work order, it still comes up and asks me to enter a Storage Location. It's not defaulting the value I put in.
Is there another step to make this work?

Hi,
When ever you use 'N' type material, the storage location defaults from material master, if maintained in 'Org data'.
If you use 'L' type, system will not be able to decide the storage location, if multiple storage locations are maintained. If the field is mandatory, you have to select the location, otherwise order can be processed without the same.
However, when material movement is done through 261, storage location will be asked.

Create storage location automatically for movement type 261

Hi Experts,
Currently we're inprocess of implementing "create storage location automatically" for reservation, and I've done with the configuration for both reservation side (Define Default Values) and movement type side (GI/transfer posting - Create Storage Location Automatically).
For movement type 201, new storage location successfully extended/created using T-Code MB21 (Create Reservation). But we found an error message while conducting the same thing for movement type 261 (which only can be created using T-Code IW31 (Create material reservation form Work Order).
Did we missed any required configuration? Pls kindly advice on what we should do.
Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the prompt response.
Rgds,
MD

Here's the current situation,
We configured the plant/storage view (SPRO), most of materials already extended to desired plant and storage location. Commonly, we can extend or create any materials for certain plant and/or storage location by maitain material master data (using T-Code MM01).
Recently, we develop the additional configuration to activate "automatic create storage location" for reservation, aligning with the movement type for Goods Issue (201,221,261,301,etc).
Let's say we have material number 123456789 and currently assigned to plant YYYY, but not extended to storage location XXXX. By performing T-Code MB21 (create reservation) with movement type 201 inputted, the respective material (123456789) is automatically created for the XXXX storage location.
But the above condition is not effected while performing the same thing using T-Code IW31 (create material reservation via Work Order) with movement type 261 (GI for Order).
Any idea to perform create storage location automatically while creating reservation for movement type 261? is there any possible configuration or procedure to be added?
Thank you

Storage location updation for account assigned PO

Hi All,
Our requirement is that for an internal order assigned and subcontracting PO (Account assignment-F & item category-L) we want to create outbound deliveries for which we need to have stock in storage location after doing GR.
But, I found that for the some of these kinds of POs while doing GR though MIGO system is updating storage location but for some POs it's not.
Can you please suggest what should be the reason for this?

Hi Jurgen,
Thanks for your reply.
You are correct. As per my knowledge also if there is account assigned PO then system will not update SL.
But, I have one PO for internal order assigned (Acct Aggt Cat-F) but for this SL got updated.
Can you tell me what setting should be there to facilitate this?

Storage location selection for variable size item

Hi All
There is a BOM of finished good Material "XYZ" and there is a component "A" in the BOM. This Component A is a variable size item, its a metallic bar of length 4 meters. In BOM XYZ, only 1.5 meters is consumed.
Now when a production order is made for XYZ and the confirmation is done with movement type 261. All the materials are backflushed along with component A . The client's requirement is to transfer the remaining length of component A (i.e. 4 - 1.5 = 2.5 meters ) to a different storage location at the time of confirmation.
Please let me know how is it possible.
Thanks in Advance
Rohit

FULL STEPS:
1.first do mb1b 311 mvmt transfer posting for the components from raw-stor location to prod stor location. you can do for A
2. do GI for the components. for A for that final product . consume 1.5 so. the remaining component will be (3 ) there in the stor. location as per sap. (check in mmbe)
3. then do mb1b 311 transfer posting for the A component to raw-stor location. from the prod stor location.
or rever the transfer posting mb1b 312.

Different Storage Location required for RGA

Hi,
My requirement is that whenever Returns is done for SO, different Storage location should default, which is currently not happening.
For ex - Standard Storage location(0001) is determined whenever SO is created but we want that different storage location(say 0096 which is created for Returns) should be determined whenever Returns is created.
For these I have made the following config settings :
Defined 1000(Shipping Point Std) which is assigned to Plant(BPX1)
Also 1100(Shipping Point for Returns) is assigned to Plant(BPX1)
Storage loc (0001- std) is assigned to Plant(BPX1) and warehouse no (BP1)
Storage loc (0096 - for Returns) is assigned to Plant(BPX1) and Warehouse no (BP1)
In OVL3 following settings done:
Shipping Point (1000) , Plant (BPX1) than storage loc - 0001(Std)
Shipping Point (1100) , Plant (BPX1) than storage loc - 0096(Returns)
Still when we are creating returns storage loc 0001 is defaulting in Returns and NOT 0096 (Which is my requirement).
Kindly advise which config settings are still missing to determine 0096 storage loc in RGA.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have ticked the Plant and movement type in OMJ8, but still same storage location is coming while posting the Returns.
Thanks

Storage location defaulting in PO

Hi Experts,
For one of the user the storage location(wm storage location) is defaulting when she tries to convert a Purchase request to PO via MD04(stock requirement list). i checked the PR and there is no storage loc maintained there, next i checked her personnel settings in PO screen and no defaults maintained for storage loc , then i checked her user profile for parameters and no default values exists for storage loc. i checked the material master for that particular material and storage loc is not mentioned.
any idea why the storage location is defaulting? what else do i need to check??
Thanks
Mahendra

Hi Mahendra,
   As other experts have pointed out, storage location may be defaulting due to :
    i) storage location in mrp2 view of material master - Storage location for external procurement.
    ii) any customization done in order to default storage location.
Hope this helps
With Best Regards

Storage location mandatory for inter stock transfer

Hi,
Document where only issuing plant has storage location and user has not entered storage location in destination tab.
It is observed that where u201Cstorage locationu201D is missing in u201Cdestination tabu201D, system is not able to determine batch no ( mvty 351 ). Since batch number is not fetched it gives further error in Batch level valuation and subsequent issue at some different price.
Please analyze the above issue suggest us as to making storage location mandatory to solve batch valuation problem.
I have tried to add storage location field LGOBE in the mvt type 351. I am getting error field LGOBE is not allowed with mvt type 351.
Please help me urgent.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
With mov type 351 you issue the material from the supplying plant. This material is then get transfeered to the INTRANSIT stock.
Once you do goods receipt against the STO this Intransit stock is moved to the Receiving Plante.
Hence, no destination storage location will be allowed for mov type 351.

Making storage location mandatory for one plant.

Hi All ,
       I want to make storage location field mandatory in ME21N for only one plant .Like in our organisation structure two comp codes 1000 and 3000 are there .Under each comp code one plant like under 1000 1000plant is there and under 3000 3000 plant is there .I want to make storage location field mandatory for only 3000 plant during creation of PO.Is it possible ?
       Plz reply .

Hi Abhijit,
Suggestions:
        1) As per your last comment, new document type is used for doing PO for that particular plant. Check the Field Selection Group in the respective document type. (SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing --> PO --> Define Document Type)
        2) Then SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing --> PO --> Define Screen Layout at document level, Select the Field selection group. Then goto to Supplying plant and make the Issuing storage location as a "Mandatory field".
Note: But you can use this document type for this particular plant only. For the other plants, use the general document type.
          Please revert if you need any clarification.

CO27 list doesnot show storage location stock for special stock E

Dear All,
In MTO scenario, in CO27 (Pick List) , if storage location has to be selected with drop-down list , system diplays the storage locations with which this item in CO27 is maintained, but with "0" stock disply... even if the item stock is available in Sales Order unrestricted stock (E).
And it is observed that in CO27 system displays storage location along with stock only in case of item without special stock; (stock available in the unrestricted location only...)
So, even if the special stock (E) is available in the storage location, why the system is showing "0" against the storage location drop-down in CO27..??
please clarify at the earliest...
With Regards,
Laxminarayana

Hi Maria..
I would like to thank you for reply.
As I mentioned earlier, if material stock is available as a FREE stock , this will appear in CO27. But when material stock is available and it is in sales order stock, system will show "0" stock in drop down list of CO27 line item storage location field. Is there any customization required to enable system to show the special stock in CO27 line item storage location filed drop down..??
awaiting your valuable inputs,

Storage location not getting copied in process order for components

Dear PP Gurus,
While making a production /process order the storage location of component materials is not getting copied from material master into the process order, it is showing any default storage location.
What couls be the reason for it..
For all components it is defaulting the same storage location.
Please throw some light on the issue what could be the reasoon for it..

Dear,
System determine issue storage location from the material master, the value of the storage location of the BOM item, or the storage location from the supply area.
Check in BOM component details storage location you have defined.
Check production storage location from the plant segment of the component is taken into account for the use of MRP areas also. When planned order is being created for the superior assembly in a MRP area?
Also check the Material requirements planning (PP-MRP)
--> planning process
--> BOM explosion and dependent requirements determination
--> storage location determination for BOM explosion

Automatic storage location view creation in maintenace order (IW31)

Hello,
Seems like I need some help.
Have configured automatic storage location view creation for GR and reservation. Configured movement types are 101, 201, 261. While creating reservations (201, 261 mvmnt. types) with mb21 the sloc view is automatically created in material master, and everything seems fine.
But in iw31 when I specify material number and sloc in a Components tab, I get an error message CO312: "The storage location data is not created". Automatic reservation is not created, and maintenance order can not be saved. Movement type 261 is used for automatic reservations for the maintenance order.
If I configure message CO312 as a (W)arning message, then it allows me to save the order and reservation, but sloc view in material master still is not created. Think that's not good and may lead to MRP issues.
How can I configure automatic sloc view creation in iw31? Is that possible?
Edited by: Konstantin Dudura on Nov 17, 2009 8:11 PM

Hi,
The customization required for Automatic Storage location creation at reservation are:
Goto : SPRO -> MM -> inventory Management and physical inventory -> Goods issue/ Transfer posting -> Create storage location automatically
first of all go to Plant and tick the automatic Storage location creation for the Plant. After that goto Movement type and tick the automatic Storage location for movement type 261.
