• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHUAP021 - Enter an issue storage location ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VHUAP021 - Enter an issue storage location
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to post or process a goods issue (GI) or a related transaction in SAP, and the system requires you to specify an issue storage location but it has not been entered. The issue storage location is the physical location in the warehouse or plant from which the goods are issued.
  Typically, this happens in processes like:
  
  Production order goods issue
  Reservation goods issue
  Stock transfer postings
  Delivery processing
  
  The system needs the issue storage location to know from where the stock should be withdrawn.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Issue Storage Location:
  
  When prompted, enter the correct storage location from which the goods are to be issued.
  This can be done manually in the transaction screen where the error appears.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the Plant and Storage Location are correctly maintained in the material master (MM03) and in the transaction.
  Ensure that the storage location is valid for the plant and material.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  In some cases, the system expects the issue storage location to be defaulted automatically.
  Check the configuration in SPRO under:
  
  Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Interfaces ? Define Storage Locations for Warehouse Number
  Or in Inventory Management settings for default storage locations.
  
  
  Also, check if the movement type used requires an issue storage location and if it is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes custom code or user exits might require the issue storage location to be entered explicitly.
  Review any custom developments if the standard process is not prompting for the storage location.
  
  
  
  Check Transaction Data:
  
  If you are using a transaction like MB1A, MIGO, or production order confirmations, ensure that the storage location field is filled.
  For production orders, check the component assignment and the storage location in the bill of materials (BOM) or routing.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: MIGO, MB1A, COHV, MF60, VL02N (depending on process)
  Tables: MARD (Storage location data for material), T001L (Storage locations)
  Movement Types: Some movement types require storage location input.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP OSS notes if this error occurs unexpectedly or after system upgrade.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Error: System requires an issue storage location but none was entered.
  Fix: Enter the correct issue storage location manually or ensure it is defaulted via master data or configuration.
  Check: Material master, plant-storage location assignment, movement type configuration, and custom code.
