  Error Message
  WR174
  
  Text: No storage location data exists for material &1 in plant &2
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to perform a transaction or process that requires storage location data for a specific material in a particular plant, but the system cannot find any storage location data maintained for that material in the given plant.
  In SAP, materials are managed at the plant level, and storage locations are subdivisions within a plant where inventory is physically stored. If no storage location data exists for the material in the plant, the system cannot proceed with processes like goods movement, inventory management, or production.
  
  When does this error typically occur?
  
  During goods receipt or goods issue postings.
  When creating or processing stock transfers.
  When running inventory transactions or reports that require storage location data.
  When trying to display or change material master data related to storage locations.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Enter the material number and plant.
  Navigate to the Storage 1 or Storage 2 view.
  Verify if storage location data exists for the material in the specified plant.
  
  
  
  Create Storage Location Data:
  
  If storage location data does not exist, create it by:
  
  In MM02, add the storage location views.
  Enter the required data such as storage location, stock levels, and other relevant details.
  
  
  Alternatively, use MM01 (Create Material) if the material is new and storage location data was never created.
  
  
  
  Verify Plant and Storage Location Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the plant and storage locations are correctly configured in the system.
  Use transaction OX09 to check storage locations assigned to the plant.
  Make sure the storage location you are trying to use exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Check User Input:
  
  Verify that the correct plant and storage location are entered during the transaction.
  Sometimes, a typo or incorrect plant/storage location can cause this error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Storage location data is essential for inventory management and must be maintained for each material in each plant where the material is stored.
  If multiple storage locations exist in a plant, ensure that the correct one is used.
  This error can also occur if the material master is incomplete or if the material is not extended to the plant/storage location.
