Hi All,

Recently realized there is a Storage location field in the va01,va02,va03 and it is allow manually enter the storage location.

Understand from the colleague, they mentioned Standard SAP sales order doesnt have this storage location field.

so my question is, if standard SAP doesnt have storage location, then how the system know which storage location to pick up the goods? and How this field is been enabled in the sales order screen?

thanks and regards

CW

As the other posts have already said, it is standard for the storage location field to be in the sales order, but it is not filled automatically.

If you want it filled automatically, then you you can use exit USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION as desribed in note 387482.

Yes this is quite true. Storage location will never flow automatically in sale order. Only in delivery, it will flow. Search the forum for more details.

how the system know which storage location to pick up the goods?

This depends on the settings what you maintained in OVL3.

Dear CW,

The field for storage location in sales order is standard.

But it has to be filled manually as automatic determination of storage location happens only when we do delivery.

This is because during sales order, availablilty check happens in plant level and not storage location level.

If we need to specify a storage location in the sales order itself then we can manully punch the s.loc in this field in sales order.

If we do not fill it in sales order, then system does the storage location determination (MALA/RETA/MARE)

and fills it automatically in delivery sceen near to material | qty

If it is not determined automatically, then you can give the same manually in delivery also provided the material is available in that storage location.

Hi,

Question: How system knows which storage location is to pick up?

Answer: Actually storage location is further sub division of plant. Plant is assign to shipping point and sales organization.

With the help of assignment the material is pick up form the storage location with in the sales organization.
