• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/LDDD202 - Request &1: Start location not buffered ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/LDDD202 Request &1: Start location not buffered typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when dealing with logistics and distribution processes. This error indicates that the system is unable to process a request because the start location (the location from which goods are being dispatched) is not buffered in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-buffered Location: The start location is not set up as a buffered location in the system. In SAP, buffering is used to improve performance by keeping frequently accessed data in memory.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the logistics execution settings that prevent the location from being buffered.
  Data Consistency: There might be inconsistencies in the master data related to the location, such as missing or incorrect entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Location Buffering:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide.
  Navigate to the relevant section for logistics execution and check the settings for location buffering.
  Ensure that the start location is marked as buffered.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  Verify the master data for the start location. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly and that the location is properly defined in the system.
  If the location is not defined, create it in the system.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Logistics Execution:
  
  If the location should be buffered but is not, you may need to reconfigure the logistics execution settings to include this location.
  Consult with your SAP Basis or logistics team to ensure that the configuration aligns with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Check for System Notes or Patches:
  
  Sometimes, specific issues are addressed in SAP Notes or patches. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes that might address this error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
