  The SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_UPLOAD071 indicates that a logical position must be set for a multi-depth storage bin. This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when trying to upload stock information for storage bins that are configured to allow multiple storage levels (multi-depth).
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following reasons:
  
  Multi-Depth Storage Bin Configuration: The storage bin is configured to allow multiple storage levels, but the logical position (which indicates the specific level within the bin) is not specified in the stock upload.
  Missing Logical Position: When performing stock uploads, if the logical position is not provided for bins that require it, the system cannot determine where to place the stock within the multi-depth bin.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Specify Logical Position: Ensure that when you are uploading stock data, you include the logical position for the multi-depth storage bins. This can usually be done by adding a field for logical position in your upload template or data file.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the storage bin in the EWM system. Make sure that the settings for multi-depth storage are correctly defined and that the logical positions are set up as required.
  
  
  Data Validation: Before performing the upload, validate the data to ensure that all required fields, including logical positions for multi-depth bins, are populated correctly.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are using transaction codes for stock upload, ensure that you are using the correct transaction that supports multi-depth storage bins and their logical positions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation for specific guidelines on handling multi-depth storage bins and the requirements for stock uploads.
