  The SAP error message LT204: No standard storage location was defined typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and inventory management processes.

  Cause:
  
  Missing Standard Storage Location: The material master record for the item in question does not have a standard storage location defined.
  Warehouse Management Configuration: The warehouse management settings may not be properly configured to assign a standard storage location for the material.
