• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DI_PCS015 - Special stock '6' only permitted with reservation relevance 'Never' ?

  The SAP error message DI_PCS015 indicates that there is an issue with the handling of special stock type '6' (which typically refers to consignment stock) in relation to the reservation relevance settings in the system. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to process a transaction involving special stock type '6' while the reservation relevance is set to 'Always' or 'With Reservation', which is not permitted.
  Cause:
  The error arises due to a mismatch between the special stock type and the reservation relevance settings. In SAP, special stock type '6' is designed for stock that is owned by a vendor but is stored at the customer’s location. This type of stock does not require a reservation, hence it is only permitted when the reservation relevance is set to 'Never'.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the reservation relevance for the transaction involving special stock type '6' is set to 'Never'. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record for the relevant material.
  Check the settings under the "Sales Organization Data" or "Plant Data" views.
  Ensure that the special stock indicator is correctly set and that the reservation relevance is set to 'Never'.
  
  
  
  Adjust Reservation Relevance:
  
  If you are creating a reservation or a transfer order, ensure that the reservation relevance is set to 'Never' for the special stock type '6'.
  This can typically be done in the transaction where you are processing the stock (e.g., creating a transfer order, goods movement, etc.).
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings:
  
  If you are using a custom transaction or a specific program, check if there are any settings or configurations that enforce reservation relevance incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to special stock handling and reservation relevance for further insights.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above settings, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, as there may be specific configurations or patches required for your system.
