• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L6009 - Storage unit management not allowed for interim storage types ?

  The SAP error message L6009, which states "Storage unit management not allowed for interim storage types," typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to perform operations on storage units that are not permitted for interim storage types.
  Cause:
  
  
  Interim Storage Types: The error arises because the system is trying to manage storage units in interim storage types (like interim storage areas) that are not configured to allow storage unit management. Interim storage types are typically used for temporary storage during processes like goods receipt or production.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The storage type settings in the warehouse management configuration may not allow for storage unit management for the specific interim storage type being used.
  
  
  Incorrect Movement Types: The movement type being used may not be compatible with the interim storage type, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for your warehouse management (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Define Storage Types.
  Check the settings for the interim storage type in question and ensure that the "Storage Unit Management" option is enabled if you intend to manage storage units in that type.
  
  
  
  Review Movement Types:
  
  Ensure that the movement types being used are appropriate for the interim storage type. You can check this in the configuration under Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Define Movement Types.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Storage Types:
  
  If storage unit management is not required for the interim storage type, consider using a different storage type that allows for the operations you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on interim storage types and their configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error does not occur again and that the intended operations can be completed successfully.
