  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GOODSMOVEMENT014 - No stock determination rule was found ?

    The SAP error message GOODSMOVEMENT014 ("No stock determination rule was found") typically occurs during goods movement processes, such as goods receipts or stock transfers, when the system cannot find a valid stock determination rule for the material being processed. This can happen in various scenarios, including when using the Warehouse Management (WM) module or when dealing with batch management.

    Causes:

    1. Missing Stock Determination Rules: The most common cause is that there are no stock determination rules defined for the material or the movement type being used.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for stock determination may not be set up correctly in the system.
    3. Material Master Data Issues: The material master may not have the necessary data or settings that link it to the stock determination rules.
    4. Movement Type Issues: The movement type being used may not be associated with any stock determination rules.
    5. Warehouse Management Settings: If using WM, the warehouse settings may not be properly configured to allow for stock determination.

    Solutions:

    1. Define Stock Determination Rules:

      • Go to the transaction code OMI4 (or the relevant configuration path) to define stock determination rules for the relevant movement types and materials.
      • Ensure that the rules are correctly set up to match the criteria for the goods movement you are trying to perform.
    2. Check Material Master Data:

      • Use transaction code MM03 to check the material master data for the material in question.
      • Ensure that the relevant views (such as Plant Data/Storage, Warehouse Management) are properly maintained.
    3. Review Movement Type Configuration:

      • Check the configuration for the movement type being used (transaction code OMJJ).
      • Ensure that the movement type is linked to the appropriate stock determination rules.
    4. Check Warehouse Management Settings:

      • If using WM, ensure that the warehouse settings are correctly configured to allow for stock determination.
      • Review the warehouse process types and ensure they are set up to use stock determination.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, perform a test goods movement to see if the error persists.
      • Use transaction code MB1A, MB1B, or MB1C (depending on the type of movement) to test the goods movement.
