• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LT098 - For strategy P and SU management, only mixed storage X or A approrpiate ?

  The SAP error message LT098 indicates that there is an issue with the storage strategy configuration in the Warehouse Management (WM) module, specifically related to the use of mixed storage types. This error typically arises when you are trying to use a storage strategy that is not compatible with the storage type settings in your warehouse.
  Cause:
  The error message LT098 is triggered when:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type you are trying to use does not support the strategy you are attempting to implement. For example, if you are using strategy P (which is a putaway strategy) or SU (Storage Unit) management, the storage type must be configured to allow mixed storage.
  Mixed Storage Settings: The storage type must be set to allow mixed storage (either X for mixed storage or A for alternative storage). If the storage type is set to a different configuration, the system will not allow the operation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the LT098 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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 that is causing the issue and check its settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Mixed Storage Settings:
  
  Ensure that the storage type is configured to allow mixed storage. You can set the storage type to either:
  
  X: Mixed storage allowed
  A: Alternative storage allowed
  
  
  If the storage type is set to a different value (e.g., N for no mixed storage), change it to X or A as appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Storage Strategy:
  
  Ensure that the storage strategy you are using is compatible with the storage type settings. If necessary, adjust the strategy or choose a different storage type that aligns with your requirements.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs when executing the relevant warehouse operations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Storage Strategies: Understand the different storage strategies available in SAP WM, such as P (putaway), S (stock removal), and others, to ensure proper configuration.
  Mixed Storage: Familiarize yourself with the concept of mixed storage and how it can be beneficial for optimizing warehouse space and operations.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on warehouse management and storage type configuration.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the LT098 error and ensure that your warehouse management processes function smoothly.
