• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L1032 - Assign a storage type to the storage section ?

  The SAP error message L1032, "Assign a storage type to the storage section," typically occurs in the context of warehouse management when there is a configuration issue related to storage sections and storage types in the Warehouse Management (WM) module.
  Cause:
  This error arises when a storage section is defined in the system but has not been assigned a corresponding storage type. In SAP WM, storage types are used to categorize different types of storage locations (e.g., shelves, bins), and storage sections are subdivisions within those storage types. If a storage section is created without linking it to a storage type, the system cannot process transactions related to that section, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the L1032 error, you need to assign a storage type to the relevant storage section. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Customizing Menu:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to Logistics -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Storage Type -> Define Storage Section.
  
  
  
  Define or Modify Storage Section:
  
  In the storage section configuration, find the storage section that is causing the error.
  Ensure that it is linked to the appropriate storage type. If it is not, you will need to assign it.
  
  
  
  Assign Storage Type:
  
  In the storage section configuration, you should see a field for the storage type. Enter the correct storage type that corresponds to the storage section.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Configurations:
  
  Ensure that the storage type itself is correctly configured and active.
  Verify that the warehouse number and other related settings are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, perform a test transaction that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SPRO for accessing the customizing settings or LX01 to view storage types and sections.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on Warehouse Management configuration.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
  
  By ensuring that all storage sections are properly assigned to their respective storage types, you can prevent the L1032 error from occurring in the future.
