• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QM255 - Storage location & is not managed by warehouse management (LE-WM) ?

  The SAP error message QM255 indicates that the storage location specified in the transaction is not managed by Warehouse Management (LE-WM). This typically occurs when you are trying to perform a quality management (QM) action on a material that is stored in a location that is not set up for warehouse management.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Location Configuration: The storage location you are trying to use is not configured to be managed by Warehouse Management. This can happen if the storage location is set up as a standard storage location rather than a WM-managed storage location.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not be set up correctly for the storage location in question, particularly in relation to QM settings.
  Warehouse Management Settings: The warehouse management system may not be properly configured to recognize the storage location as part of its managed areas.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage location in SAP and verify if it is set up as a WM-managed location. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration path in SPRO (Customizing).
  Ensure that the storage location is assigned to a warehouse number that is configured for WM.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the material in question. Ensure that the quality management views are properly maintained and that the storage location is correctly assigned.
  You can do this by using transaction code MM03 to display the material master and check the relevant views.
  
  
  
  Warehouse Management Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the warehouse management system is properly configured to manage the storage location. This includes checking the warehouse number and ensuring that it is active and correctly set up in the system.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Storage Location:
  
  If the storage location is not intended to be managed by WM, consider using a different storage location that is configured for WM management.
