LM02 - Invalid barcode

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have created TO and SU has successfully generated.

We haven't printed the TO and SU label yet , but using the SU number in LM02 for testing.

We entered the SU number manually in LM02 for testing but system is throwing below error .

" Invalid bar code  "

We don't get any option to enter the SU manually without scanning.

Please throw some light on this issue.

Can you clarify one point please?

You mention:

"We entered the SU number manually"

You also mention:

We don't get any option to enter the SU manually

Can you or can you not type or paste the SU number into the transaction?

Normally I would expect the system issue an invalid storage unit number message if there was some issue with the storage unit but also I would not expect the system to mention invalid bar code if you manually type the SU number. If you hand key this number and get invalid bar code I have to agree with Manish in thinking the error message may be misleading and the help of a developer might be required...personally I would type /h in the transaction field before executing that and see whats happening myself.

Hello Jacob,

Our requirement is system shall allow to enter the SU manually.

But i don't know where i have activated to avoid manual SU entry.

Hello All,

Please check my initial screen for LM02 it is written SU barcode ?

Does it mean that i must scan SU barcode and i can't enter manually ?

Please help me out to fix this.

The field is open for entry, SAP does not care if you use a scanner or a keyboard

Hello Jacob,

LM02 is not accepting the SU barcode.

But when i checked LM03 is taking the TO number and shows SU number in it.

Also i have send the SU number range and SU conversion in the above post.

Please check .

The basic SU number config looks the same as in my system so it should be good. It seems strange to start with a "31" series and end with "39" ( I would expect the start to be "30" if ending in "39") but I don't believe that would cause any issue.

For the bar code issue it's not possible to advise if you have the correct bar code set up in SAP because we do not know the bar code font used to print the bar code on your physical labels.

I believe the prefix and delimiter might not be correct in your config but that does not explain why the system will not accept the SU number when you hand key it into the field. I would check with development team as the basic requirements to allow manual entry seem to be there, correct that issue then work on the bar code issue separately (resolving the first may also resolve the second).

Hi

I'm facing similar issue, how did you end up fixing the issue, what setting did you change in the application identifier?

Thanks!

Hi,

Please check there is a valid entry in the table LEIH for the storage unit.

If so, please try by adding the prefix "00" to your storage unit number in the LM02.\

And i tried with both 00000000003100000000 and 3100000000 .

In both the case it is not accepting .

Hi,

Please try 0000000000003100000000

[MANIS]

in the LEIN table screenshot your SU number is 00000000003100000001 whereas you mentioned as 00000000003100000000  check whether you are entering the right SU or not

Take the help from your development team to get the root cause sometime error message which appears on screen is misleading
