Hi there,

Storage loc determination depends on the storage loc rule that you assign to the delivery doc type.

MALA: Shipping point / plant / storage conditions

RETA: Shipping point / plant / situation

MARE: 1st MALA if not possible, then RETA.

Or any other custom logic.

Whatever may be the case you do the determination in OVL3.

The same storage loc will be proposed in the delivery. Pls note that the storage loc determination happens automatically only in delivery. If you want to have it done in order, then a customized code should be written in user exit in MV45AFZZ.

Hi

Storage location is normally not determined in sales order

It is determined only in delivery

If you want storage location to be determined for sales order then you have to use userexit

If storage location is specified manually in sales order then it is copied into delivery

Otherwise it is determined using either MALA,RETA or MARE rules which we specify in delivery doc type

I think the userexit to get it determined in sales order is MV45AFZZ. Pls check it as i havent used this userexit so far

I think what our friend Mr.AMIT has mentioned about is for external procurement for production orders only

For sales orders what all other friends have suggested is very right

Regards

Dear Balaji

You have to maintain storage location to plant in *ox09* which will not be determined automatically in sale order.

It will be determined automatically in delivery based on the settings you maintained in IMG -- LOGISTICS EXECUTION>SHIPPING>PICKING>DETERMINE PICKING LOCATION>Define Rules for Picking Location Determination. Here you have to assign the MALA rule to your delivery type

Also maintain in OMJ8 or OMB2

thanks

Dear Balaji,

In material master, select "MRP2" view and enter the storage location in the field "Prod.stor.location",

Once you define here, this will bring the storage location in sale order level.

Storage location will be determined in the Delivery (so no issue, if you are mentioning the Plant manuaaly in the Sales order) by some rule (MALA,RETA or MARE) which ever has been assigned to your Delivery Type.

In MALA rule, it is determined by

Plant + Shipping point + Storage condition = Storage location.

For the Plant which you are putting manually, this assignment must be there in customising as well as Shipping point assignment also must be there.

It is determined based on a combination of Shipping point + Plant + Storage condition

Hi balaji,

If storage location for picking is not specified in the order item, the system determines the storage location when it creates the outbound delivery and copies it into the delivery item. Otherwise, the storage location entered in the order item is used in the outbound delivery.

- The system determines the picking location based on a rule defined in the delivery type. The following rules are shipped in the standard system:

- MALA: The picking location is determined based on the shipping point, the delivering plant, and the storage condition for the material as defined in the material master.

- RETA and MARE: These rules are mainly used in trade scenarios.

- You can also use the customer exit in SAP enhancement V02V0002 to implement storage location determination.

- The picking location search is activated for each delivery item category.

Hope it helps!

Thanks!
