• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH066 - Storage location has not been entered and cannot be found ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WH066 - Storage location has not been entered and cannot be found:
  
  Error Message:
  WH066 - Storage location has not been entered and cannot be found
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a storage location is required for a warehouse management (WM) transaction, but:
  
  The storage location is not entered in the transaction.
  Or the system cannot determine the storage location automatically.
  Or the storage location entered does not exist or is not assigned to the relevant plant or warehouse number.
  
  In Warehouse Management (WM) processes, the storage location is a critical organizational unit that links Inventory Management (IM) and WM. If the system cannot find or identify the storage location, it cannot proceed with the transaction.
  
  Typical Scenarios Where WH066 Occurs:
  
  When creating or posting goods movements (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue) without specifying a storage location.
  When the storage location is missing in the material master or not assigned to the warehouse number.
  When the warehouse number is assigned to a plant, but the storage location is not maintained or linked properly.
  When the system tries to determine the storage location automatically but fails due to missing configuration.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Storage Location Manually:
  
  In the transaction screen, ensure that the storage location field is filled in correctly.
  Verify that the storage location exists in the system (transaction OMSL).
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify that the material master has the correct storage location assigned for the relevant plant.
  Use transaction MM03 to check the material master data.
  
  
  
  Check Plant and Storage Location Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the storage location is assigned to the plant.
  Use transaction OX09 to check plant-storage location assignments.
  
  
  
  Check Warehouse Number and Storage Location Link:
  
  Verify that the warehouse number is correctly assigned to the plant and storage location.
  Use transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Master Data ? Define Warehouse Number and Assign Warehouse Number to Plant and Storage Location.
  
  
  
  Automatic Determination of Storage Location:
  
  If the system is supposed to determine the storage location automatically (e.g., during transfer postings), check the configuration for automatic storage location determination.
  This can be maintained in IMG under Warehouse Management ? Strategies ? Storage Location Determination.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or BAdIs:
  
  If custom logic is implemented for storage location determination, verify that it is working correctly.
