How To Fix LT164 - This definition can cause problems if status management is active

LT164 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 164

• Message text: This definition can cause problems if status management is active

What causes this issue?

You want to define a block storage area with Storage Unit Management.
The block should allow batch mixed storage in a block storage row. The
system carried out an appropriate check and discovered that Batch
Status Management is activated for the plant managed in your warehouse
number.
We would like to point out that this setting can cause problems:
Batches with status "available" and batches with status "not available"
can be stored simultaneously in a block storage row.
The storage unit removed from a row and thus also the batch only become
known when the transfer order is confirmed. It can therefore happen
that storage units are removed from stock that contain a batch that is
not available.
Set up your organizational structure so that this situation does not
occur.
