    SAP Error Message:

    WSTI_MLT_INV_DOC001: The storage location &1 is not assigned to the plant &2.


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to post a goods movement, inventory transaction, or any material document involving a storage location that is not assigned to the specified plant in the system.

    In SAP, each storage location must be explicitly assigned to a plant. If the storage location you are trying to use is not linked to the plant in the system configuration, SAP will throw this error.


    Explanation:

    • Storage Location (&1): The storage location you are trying to use.
    • Plant (&2): The plant under which the storage location should be assigned.

    The system checks the master data configuration to verify if the storage location belongs to the plant. If it does not, the transaction is blocked.


    Solution:

    1. Check Storage Location Assignment:

      • Go to transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Master Data ? Define Storage Locations.
      • Or directly use transaction OX09 (for plant-storage location assignment).
    2. Assign Storage Location to Plant:

      • In transaction OX09, check if the storage location is assigned to the plant.
      • If not, assign the storage location to the plant.
    3. Verify Master Data:

      • Ensure that the material master and other relevant master data are consistent with the plant and storage location.
    4. Reprocess the Transaction:

      • After the assignment, retry the transaction that caused the error.

    Additional Information:

    • This error is common during inventory postings, goods receipts, goods issues, or transfer postings.
    • Storage locations are organizational units within a plant that represent physical or logical subdivisions.
    • Proper assignment is crucial for inventory management and reporting.
    • If you are working in a multi-plant environment, ensure that the storage location is assigned to the correct plant to avoid cross-plant inconsistencies.
