• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CH171 - No warehouse number required for selected views ?

  The SAP error message CH171 "No warehouse number required for selected views" typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a material master record in a system that uses warehouse management (WM) but the warehouse number is not specified or is not required for the views you are trying to maintain.
  Cause:
  
  Warehouse Management Configuration: The material master views you are trying to maintain may not require a warehouse number, or the system is configured in such a way that it does not expect a warehouse number for the selected views.
  View Selection: You may have selected views that do not require a warehouse number, such as basic data or purchasing views, while trying to access warehouse-specific views.
  Material Type Settings: The material type you are working with may not be configured to require a warehouse number for the selected views.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Selected Views: Ensure that you are selecting the appropriate views that require a warehouse number. If you are trying to maintain warehouse-specific data, make sure to select the relevant views (e.g., Warehouse Management view).
  Review Material Type Configuration: Check the configuration of the material type you are using. You can do this in the SPRO transaction under the following path:
  
  Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Types > Define Attributes of Material Types
  Ensure that the settings for the material type allow for warehouse management and that the warehouse number is required for the views you are trying to maintain.
  
  
  Warehouse Number Assignment: If you are working with a material that should have a warehouse number, ensure that the warehouse number is correctly assigned in the relevant views.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator to understand the specific configuration and requirements for your system.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), or MM03 (Display Material) to work with material master records.
  Warehouse Management (WM): Familiarize yourself with the Warehouse Management module in SAP, as it has specific requirements and configurations that may affect how materials are managed.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional guidance on warehouse management configurations.
