Hi,

As automatic determination of Storage Location at Sales Order level is not possible, when the user changes ship-to-party details, the system redetermines all the shipping related information even the shipping point determination is freshly carried out. Thus, the storage location field will become blank.

The maximum possible solution is you may use User-Exits to populate the field during saving/updation of sales order through some predefined logic. But this cannot be achieved through configuration.

When you create a return order from scratch:

In standard systems storage location is determined during delivery creation (based on picking location determination settings).

When you create with reference to a sales order where storage location was filled, it will be copied to the new document.

It also is possible to override the standard logic during sales order creation with mv45afzz->userexit_move_field_to_vbap or during delivery creation in mv50afzz->userexit_lgort_determination.

While I can see benefits in certain scenarios for populating vbap-lgort for sales process (reserving the product from a specific storage location), it is not that useful to have storage locaton filled at sales order creation for returns process.

Could you please explain why this is needed/expected at that early stage in processing? Also for advanced returns process a possible approach could be that the inspection is performed at the customer's premises without any need for physical transportation of goods.
