• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_DMC_SIN183 - In case of special stock 'E' for material &1 please enter a sales order ?

  The SAP error message CNV_DMC_SIN183 typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when dealing with special stock types, such as special stock 'E' (which refers to consignment stock). This error indicates that a sales order must be specified for the material in question when handling special stock.
  Cause:
  The error arises because special stock 'E' (consignment stock) requires a sales order to be associated with it. In SAP, consignment stock is stock that is stored at the customer's location but remains the property of the supplier until it is consumed or sold. Therefore, the system expects a sales order to be linked to the consignment stock to track its movement and ownership correctly.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that a valid sales order is entered for the material that is classified as special stock 'E'. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Verify that the material in question is correctly set up in the material master and that it is designated as special stock 'E'.
  
  
  Create a Sales Order: If a sales order does not exist for the material, you will need to create one. This can be done through the transaction code VA01 (Create Sales Order). Ensure that the sales order references the correct material and quantity.
  
  
  Link Sales Order to Special Stock: Once the sales order is created, ensure that it is linked to the special stock. This may involve updating the stock information in the system to reflect the association with the sales order.
  
  
  Re-run the Migration Process: After ensuring that the sales order is in place, re-run the data migration or conversion process that triggered the error.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific requirements for your scenario, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance on handling special stock types.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VA01 (Create Sales Order), VA02 (Change Sales Order), and MM03 (Display Material).
  Special Stock Types: Understand the different types of special stocks in SAP, including consignment stock, project stock, and others, to better manage inventory and sales processes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address the issue.
