• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L3215 - Storage type & does not have storage unit management ?

  The SAP error message L3215 indicates that the specified storage type does not have Storage Unit Management (SUM) enabled. This error typically occurs when you are trying to perform operations that require SUM in a storage type that is not configured for it.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type you are trying to use does not have Storage Unit Management activated. This can happen if the storage type was set up without SUM or if it was changed after the initial configuration.
  Incorrect Movement Type: You may be using a movement type that requires SUM in a storage type that does not support it.
  Warehouse Management Settings: The settings in the Warehouse Management (WM) module may not be correctly configured to handle storage units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide.
  Navigate to Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Master Data > Define Storage Types.
  Select the storage type in question and check if the "Storage Unit Management" option is activated. If not, you may need to enable it.
  
  
  
  Adjust Movement Types:
  
  Ensure that the movement types you are using are compatible with the storage type. If you are using a movement type that requires SUM, consider using a different movement type that does not require it.
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Management Settings:
  
  Check the overall configuration of your Warehouse Management settings to ensure that they align with your operational requirements and that SUM is appropriately configured where needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on configuring storage types and managing storage units.
