  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MG510 - No entry in key field in storage type segment for material & ?

    The SAP error message MG510 "No entry in key field in storage type segment for material &" typically occurs when the system cannot find a storage type segment entry for a specific material in the warehouse management (WM) module. This can happen for various reasons, and here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

    Cause:

    1. Missing Storage Type Segment: The most common cause is that there is no entry in the storage type segment for the specified material. This means that the material has not been assigned to any storage type in the warehouse management system.
    2. Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not be correctly set up for warehouse management, or the material may not be flagged for WM.
    3. Warehouse Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the warehouse, such as missing or incorrect settings for storage types.
    4. Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data between the material master and the warehouse management settings.

    Solution:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check if the material is set up for warehouse management. Ensure that the relevant views (like Warehouse Management view) are maintained.
      • Verify that the material is assigned to the correct plant and storage location.
    2. Check Storage Type Segment:

      • Use transaction code LX02 or LX03 to check the storage type segment for the material. Ensure that there is an entry for the material in the relevant storage type.
      • If there is no entry, you may need to create one. This can typically be done through transaction code WM01 or by using the appropriate configuration settings in the warehouse management module.
    3. Review Warehouse Configuration:

      • Check the configuration of the warehouse (transaction code SPRO) to ensure that the storage types are correctly defined and that the material can be stored in the specified storage type.
      • Ensure that the storage type is active and properly configured.
    4. Recreate Storage Type Segment:

      • If necessary, you can recreate the storage type segment for the material. This may involve deleting any incorrect entries and re-adding the material to the appropriate storage type.
    5. Consult Documentation:
