• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK094 - Stge loc. of supply area not WM-managed. Only use mat. staging ind. "0". ?

  The SAP error message PK094 indicates that there is an issue with the staging location of a supply area that is not managed by Warehouse Management (WM). This error typically arises in the context of production planning and material staging processes, particularly when trying to stage materials for production orders.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The supply area (storage location) is not set up to be managed by Warehouse Management (WM).
  The system is trying to use a material staging indicator that is not compatible with the non-WM-managed storage location.
  The material staging indicator is set to a value other than "0", which is required for non-WM-managed storage locations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PK094 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Settings:
  
  Verify that the storage location in question is indeed not managed by WM. You can do this by checking the configuration in the SAP system.
  If the storage location should be managed by WM, consider changing its settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Staging Indicator:
  
  Ensure that the material staging indicator for the production order or the relevant process is set to "0". This indicates that the system should not use WM-managed processes for staging materials.
  You can change the material staging indicator in the production order or in the material master data.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the supply area and ensure that they align with your business processes. This includes reviewing the settings in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under:
  
  Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Interfaces > Integration with Other Applications > Define Staging Areas.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional context on the error message and its implications.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.

  Material Staging Indicator: This is a key setting in production orders that determines how materials are staged for production. The indicator can have different values, and "0" typically indicates that the materials are to be staged without WM involvement.
  Warehouse Management (WM): This is a module in SAP that manages warehouse operations. If a storage location is not WM-managed, it means that the system will not use WM functionalities for that location.
  Production Orders: These are used in manufacturing to plan and control the production process. Proper configuration of materials and staging is crucial for successful production execution.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP WM and production planning.
