  SAP Error Message:
  WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG018 Invalid location ID &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system encounters an invalid or unrecognized Location ID during workflow processing or integration scenarios involving location master data. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the actual Location ID that the system could not validate.
  Common causes include:  
  
  The Location ID does not exist in the system (e.g., in table T001L or related location master data tables).  
  The Location ID is incorrectly entered or passed from an external system or interface.  
  The Location ID is inactive or deleted.  
  There is a mismatch between the Location ID expected by the workflow or integration scenario and the actual data maintained in SAP.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify the Location ID:  
  
  Check the Location ID mentioned in the error message in transaction OX09 (Define Locations) or directly in table T001L.  
  Ensure the Location ID exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Correct the Location ID:  
  
  If the Location ID is incorrect in the input data or interface, correct it to a valid one.  
  If the Location ID is missing, add the required location in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Integration/Workflow Configuration:  
  
  Review the workflow or integration scenario that triggers this error to ensure it references valid location IDs.  
  If the Location ID is passed from an external system, verify the mapping and data consistency.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:  
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to identify invalid or obsolete location IDs in master data.
  
  
  
  Transport or System Copy Issues:  
  
  If this error appears after a system copy or transport, verify that location master data has been correctly transported or maintained in the target system.
