  Cause:
  This error generally indicates that the system is unable to find a suitable storage bin based on the defined search sequence. The search sequence is a predefined order in which the system looks for available storage bins to place goods. The error suggests that the search sequence specified (denoted by &1 and &2) does not have any valid storage bins available for the operation being performed.
  Possible Causes:
  
  No Available Bins: The storage bins defined in the search sequence are either full or not suitable for the type of goods being put away.
  Incorrect Search Sequence Configuration: The search sequence may not be configured correctly in the system, leading to no valid bins being found.
  Warehouse Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the overall warehouse configuration, such as incorrect bin types or storage type settings.
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type of the goods being put away may not match the stock type allowed in the bins defined in the search sequence.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Bins: Verify that there are available storage bins that meet the criteria for the goods being put away. Ensure that the bins are not full and are suitable for the stock type.
  
  
  Review Search Sequence Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the search sequence in SAP EWM.
  Ensure that the search sequence is correctly defined and that it includes valid storage bins.
  Check if the search sequence is active and properly assigned to the relevant warehouse process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Configuration:
  
  Review the warehouse configuration to ensure that the storage types and bin types are set up correctly.
  Make sure that the storage bins are assigned to the correct storage types and that they are configured to accept the stock type being put away.
  
  
  
  Check Stock Type Compatibility: Ensure that the stock type of the items being put away is compatible with the stock types allowed in the storage bins defined in the search sequence.
  
  
  Test with Different Items: If possible, try to put away different items to see if the issue is specific to certain stock types or items.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on configuring search sequences and managing storage bins.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
