  SAP Error Message:
  WSTI_MLT_INV_DOC008
  
  Text: The storage location cannot be determined without the plant input.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the system is trying to determine the storage location for a material document or inventory transaction, but the plant information is missing or not provided. In SAP, the storage location is always linked to a specific plant. Without the plant, the system cannot resolve which storage location to use.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Missing or incorrect plant entry in the transaction.
  Customizing or master data issues where the plant-storage location relationship is not properly maintained.
  User input error where the plant field is left blank.
  Program or interface passing incomplete data (plant missing).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Plant:
  
  Ensure that the plant is entered in the relevant field before attempting to post or process the document.
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the material master has the correct plant data maintained (e.g., in MARD table for storage location data).
  
  
  Check Customizing:  
  
  Go to SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Master Data ? Define Storage Locations and verify that storage locations are assigned to the correct plants.
  Ensure that the plant-storage location assignment is consistent.
  
  
  
  Review User Input or Interface Data:
  
  If the data is coming from an interface or custom program, check that the plant field is correctly populated before the system tries to determine the storage location.
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program or user exit, debug to check why the plant is missing at the point where storage location determination is done.
