Parameters:

Remedy:
• Check whether the magazine data have been defined correctly (e.g. the magazine must not be disabled).
• Check whether the tool data are correctly defined (for example, the tool location type must match the location types allowed in the magazine).
• Check whether there is still room in the magazine to add another tool; there may not be due to operating procedures.
• Check whether a location type hierarchy is defined and whether it, for example, does not allow insertion of a type ‘A’ tool in a free location with type ‘B’.
