  Cause:
  
  Negative Stock: The storage location specified in the error message has a negative stock balance. This can happen if stock has been issued without sufficient inventory on hand.

  Incorrect Stock Management: There may be issues with how stock is being managed, such as incorrect postings or missing stock receipts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify the stock levels in the specified storage location. You can do this using transaction codes like MMBE (Stock Overview) to see the current stock status.
  Adjust Stock: If the stock is indeed negative, you may need to perform a stock adjustment to correct the inventory levels. This can be done through a stock transfer or a physical inventory count.
  Review Goods Movements: Check the recent goods movements to identify any discrepancies or errors that may have led to the negative stock situation.
  Configuration Review: If negative stock is not allowed in your business process, ensure that the configuration settings in the system reflect this. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings for inventory management.
  Create Stock in the Storage Location: If the business process allows for it, you may need to create stock in the storage location before processing the goods issue.
