• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LT071 - If you have st.pl.str. "Fixed bin", the area check must not be active ?

  The SAP error message LT071 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the handling of fixed bins in the warehouse management system (WMS). Specifically, this error occurs when the system detects that an area check is active for a storage type that is configured as a fixed bin storage type. 
  Cause:
  The error arises from a conflict between the settings for the storage type and the area check. In SAP Warehouse Management, fixed bins are designated storage locations where specific items are stored. When an area check is active, the system expects to manage inventory in a more flexible manner, which is incompatible with the fixed bin concept. 
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access the Warehouse Management Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the following path:
  Logistics -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Define Storage Types
  
  
  
  
  Select the Relevant Storage Type:
  
  Find the storage type that is configured as a fixed bin.
  
  
  
  Check the Area Check Setting:
  
  In the storage type configuration, look for the option related to the area check. This is usually a checkbox or a field that indicates whether the area check is active.
  
  
  
  Deactivate the Area Check:
  
  If the area check is active, deactivate it for the storage type that is set as a fixed bin. Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, perform the operation that previously triggered the LT071 error to ensure that the issue has been resolved.

  Warehouse Management (WM) Configuration: Proper configuration of storage types, bins, and area checks is crucial for efficient warehouse operations in SAP.
