Cause

There is no Logistics Area with Logistics Usage "Movable Storage" under the Location LOC, therefore the system is throwing up the error message when Item Type "Pick-Up" is selected.

Note: The Movable Logistics Area is used in Service Order Engineer Pick-Up scenario to show that the goods are not in the warehouse but somewhere on a truck/van. It is not possible to say exactly on which truck/van the products are stored. This is the expected system behavior.
