  Error Message:
  WH087 - Storage loc. &1 does not exist in plant &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a warehouse or inventory transaction in SAP involving a storage location that is not assigned or does not exist in the specified plant.
  In SAP, storage locations are organizational units within a plant where inventory is physically stored. Each storage location must be assigned to a plant in the system. If you reference a storage location that is not defined or assigned to the plant you are working with, SAP throws this error.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  The storage location code entered is incorrect or mistyped.
  The storage location exists but is not assigned to the plant in the system.
  The plant or storage location master data is incomplete or missing.
  Integration issues between Warehouse Management (WM) and Materials Management (MM) modules.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction OMIR or SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Definition ? Logistics General ? Define Storage Locations.
  Verify that the storage location (&1) exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Plant-Storage Location Assignment:
  
  Use transaction OX09 to check if the storage location is assigned to the plant (&2).
  If the storage location is missing for the plant, assign it accordingly.
  
  
  
  Create or Assign Storage Location:
  
  If the storage location does not exist, create it via OMIR or OX09.
  If it exists but is not assigned to the plant, assign it in OX09.
  
  
  
  Verify Warehouse Management Settings:
  
  If you are working with WM, ensure that the storage location is linked to the correct warehouse number.
  Use transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Master Data ? Define Storage Type and Storage Section to verify settings.
  
  
  
  Check Transaction Data:
  
  Verify that the storage location entered in the transaction is correct.
  Correct any typos or wrong entries.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the system landscape involves multiple clients or environments, ensure that the storage location and plant assignments are consistent across systems.
