SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: LT - LE-WM: View or Table Maintenance Error Messages

• Message number: 087

• Message text: Define a pick-point storage type for SU-managed block storage

What causes this issue?

In a bulk storage area with storage unit management, you can only store
full homogeneous storage units. Storage units with partial quantities
are not allowed here because in this type of bulk storage area there is
the requirement to remove all stock. This in turn affects the behavior
of the system during stock picks from an SU-managed storage type. If
the stock removal does not require a complete storage unit, the
remaining storage unit quantity is posted to a pick point that you have
defined in your SU-managed bulk storage area.
Procedure for the System Administrator
Define a pick point storage type for your SU-managed block storage
area.
