• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/LOC_DP_ILM021 - Locations without deletion flag set will be ignored. ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/LOC_DP_ILM021 indicates that certain locations in the system do not have the deletion flag set, which means they will be ignored during a specific operation, typically related to location data processing in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module.
  Cause:
  This error usually occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that involves deleting or processing locations, but some of the locations do not have the deletion flag set. The deletion flag is a marker that indicates whether a location is to be considered for deletion or not. If the flag is not set, the system will ignore those locations in the operation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Location Data: Review the locations that are being processed. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP where you manage locations (e.g., /SCMB/LOC).
  
  
  Set Deletion Flag: If you want to delete or ignore certain locations, you need to set the deletion flag for those locations. This can typically be done in the location master data. Look for an option to set the deletion flag in the location details.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Ensure that your configuration settings for location management are correct. Sometimes, the issue may arise from incorrect settings in the SCM configuration.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help documentation or the specific SCM module documentation for more details on how to manage locations and the implications of the deletion flag.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or active processes that might prevent the deletion of the location. If a location is being used in active processes, it may not be eligible for deletion.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the operation again to ensure that the error does not occur.
