• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3560 - Storage location specified, but not the plant ?

  The SAP error message M3560 indicates that a storage location has been specified in a transaction, but the corresponding plant has not been defined. This error typically occurs in inventory management or material management processes where both a plant and a storage location are required for proper data processing.
  Cause:

  Check the Transaction: Review the transaction you are trying to execute. Ensure that you have entered both the plant and the storage location correctly.
