 Storage-Location-Specific Data Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

A material can be stored at several storage locations. To store data specific to each storage location, you must create the relevant material master record (or extend an existing material master record) for each storage location.

Activities

If the material master record already exists, it can be extended to include storage-location-specific data in one of the following ways:

  • Automatically

The material master record is automatically extended the first time a goods receipt is posted for the material. All data specific to the storage location is updated in the material master record. The system can be configured in this way in Customizing for Inventory Management in Create Storage Location Automatically .

  • Manually

You enter the storage locations for a material master record collectively. This is much less time-consuming than entering the data for each storage location individually. See Entering Storage Locations Collectively .
