Can one storage location be extended to two
different plants? Eg plant PPL01-- storage loc 1) sc01 2)sc02.
Can another plant PPL02 have any of the storage
locations of PPL01.
You can duplicate a storage location identifier at
different plants but each of those is a unique storage location. For example
Plant = 0001 Storage location = S001 and Plant = 0002 Storage location = S001.
Those two storage locations, both called S001, are totally separate unique
storage locations. They just both happen to be named S001. Material is valued at
the plant level therefore you cannot have a single storage location that spans
two plants.
A storage location has to be unique for a specific
plant only. It cannot be common to two plants.
You can use the same storage location number for two
different plants and the system identifies them uniquely based on the
plant/storage location combination.
e.g (Storage location 01 in Plant Mumbai) and (Storage
location 01 in Plant Bangalore).
Just ask yourself a question:
Which plant will the material in a given storage location
belong to when you take the inventory at plant level ?
If physically you are using the same warehouse or godown
for two different plants, still I am sure you are maintaining separate books for
the inventory of each plant. These separate books are separate storage location
in the system assigned to each plant though physically they are same.

You can configure same store location for two diiferent
plants:
