Where to maintain settings if we want to make storage location appear by default at

the time of creating the sales order?

There is No storage location determination at Sales order level.. Only we can enter
manually.
Storage location will be determined at Delivery level only..

System does not determine storage location at sales order level. User has to
indicate it at time of creating sales order. The storage location entered
in the order item is copied into the outbound delivery. If no storage location for
picking is specified in the order item, the system determines the storage
location when it creates the outbound delivery and copies it into the delivery
item. The system determines the picking location based on a MALA, RETA, MARA rule
defined in the delivery type.

This functionality is not available in the standard SAP. If you want the system to
check the stock at a specific storage location, the storage location has to
be entered manually at item level or you have to go for development so that it will
be defaulted under the specific conditions specified. You have to create a
Z-table and maintain the table with data under which that specific storage location
has to be determined.

A userexit has to be used so that it will default the appropriate storage location
after checking the table.

Storage loction determination in Sales order is only possible via a user exit. You
cannot configure storage location into sales order: you need to use user
exit MV45AFZB USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMIN

or

You can use userexit_save_document

Userexit_save_document_prepare

or

The relevant forms to be used are:

USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK -- to default in Header.

USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP -- to default in item.

User exit: MV45AFZZ

Standard SAP can't determine storage location at sales order level. If required to
give manually. But at deliver it'll determine automatic.

Do the proper settings at Delivery level:

SPRO --> LOGISTICS EXECUTION --> SHIPPING --> PICKING --> DETERMINE PICKING
LOCATION --> Define Rules for Picking Location Determination.

If sales order level by default require, then you have to use user EXIT.
