You receive the error message:
'Over the counter usage already exists for logistics area ZZZ within storage location XXX. Only one "Over the counter" usage is permitted per site.'

YYY = Logistics Area ID
ZZZ = Logistics Area ID
Cause
The system does not allow you to add more than one Logistics Area with Logistics Use Over The Counter Stock inside a Location.
Resolution
System is working as designed. However, the recommended is that you set up a separate site, to ensure that inventory reserved for Sales Orders is also not considered for Over-The-Counter Sales. Over-the-counter sales does not make an availability check and cannot consider existing reservations.
