• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HUSTOCK013 - SU &1 is currently blocked by a stock removal in progress ?

  The SAP error message HUSTOCK013 indicates that a stock item (in this case, identified by the stock type SU &1) is currently blocked because there is an ongoing stock removal process. This typically occurs in warehouse management scenarios where stock is being picked or moved, and the system prevents other operations on that stock until the current process is completed.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Stock Removal: The stock item is currently involved in a stock removal operation, such as picking for a delivery or transfer.
  Lock Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity during stock movements. If a stock item is locked for removal, other transactions cannot proceed until the lock is released.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations in the warehouse management settings that enforce strict locking during stock movements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait until the stock removal process is completed. Once the operation is finished, the lock will be released, and you can proceed with your transaction.
  Check Active Processes: Use transaction codes like LX03 (Display Stock Overview) or LT23 (Display Transfer Order) to check if there are any active stock removal processes for the item in question.
  Identify the User/Process: If you have access, you can identify which user or process is holding the lock. This can be done using transaction SM12 (Display and Delete Locks). You can then communicate with the user or team responsible for the stock removal to expedite the process if necessary.
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the warehouse management configuration to see if adjustments can be made to reduce locking conflicts.
