  Cause of LT072 Error
  The error message "If you have st.pl.str. 'Fixed bin', add.to ex.st. must be allowed" suggests that the system is trying to perform an operation that is not allowed due to the configuration of the storage type. Specifically, it indicates that:
  
  Fixed Bin Storage Type: The storage type is configured as a fixed bin, which means that stock must be placed in specific, predefined locations.
  Addition to Existing Stock: The operation you are trying to perform (such as a stock transfer or putaway) is attempting to add stock to an existing bin, but the system settings do not allow this.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the LT072 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in the SAP system.

  Navigate to the transaction code SPRO and follow the path:
  Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Define Storage Types
