• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 68815 - Position will be less than 0 on & ?

  The SAP error message 68815, which states "Position will be less than 0 on &," typically occurs in the context of inventory management or logistics when there is an attempt to process a transaction that would result in a negative stock position. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during goods movements, stock transfers, or inventory adjustments.
  Cause:
  
  
  Negative Stock Movement: The most common cause is that the system is trying to post a transaction that would reduce the stock level below zero. This can happen if:
  
  There is an attempt to issue more stock than is available.
  There are incorrect stock levels due to previous transactions not being posted correctly.
  There are discrepancies in stock counts due to manual adjustments or errors.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the configuration settings in the system may not allow for negative stock levels, leading to this error when a transaction attempts to create a negative stock situation.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the transaction process can also lead to this error, such as entering an incorrect quantity or selecting the wrong material.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify the current stock levels for the material in question. You can do this using transaction codes like MMBE (Stock Overview) or MB52 (List of Warehouse Stocks on Hand). Ensure that the stock is sufficient for the transaction you are trying to perform.
  
  
  Adjust Inventory: If there are discrepancies in stock levels, you may need to perform an inventory adjustment using transaction MI01 (Create Physical Inventory Document) or MI04 (Enter Inventory Count) to correct the stock levels.
  
  
  Review Transaction Details: Double-check the details of the transaction you are trying to post. Ensure that the quantities and materials are entered correctly.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: If your business process allows for negative stock (which is generally not recommended), you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the system. This can be done in the material master or through the configuration settings in the IMG (Implementation Guide).
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
