• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IEN105 - No stock available ?

  The SAP error message IEN105 "No stock available" typically occurs in the context of inventory management and logistics when a user attempts to perform a transaction that requires stock, but the system indicates that there is no available stock for the requested material. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during sales order processing, production order creation, or inventory transfers.
  Causes of IEN105 "No stock available":
  
  
  Stock Levels: The most straightforward cause is that the material in question has zero stock available in the specified storage location or plant.
  
  
  Stock Type: The stock might be available, but it could be in a non-available stock type (e.g., blocked stock, quality inspection stock).
  
  
  Reservation: There may be existing reservations for the stock that prevent it from being available for new transactions.
  
  
  Plant/Storage Location: The stock might be available in a different plant or storage location than the one specified in the transaction.
  
  
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, the specific batch may not be available for the transaction.
  
  
  Movement Type Restrictions: Certain movement types may have restrictions that prevent stock from being used in specific transactions.
  
  
  Solutions to IEN105 "No stock available":
  
  
  Check Stock Levels: Use transaction codes like MMBE (Stock Overview) to check the stock levels for the material in the relevant plant and storage location.
  
  
  Review Stock Types: Ensure that the stock is not in a blocked or quality inspection status. You can check this in the stock overview or by using transaction MB52.
  
  
  Check Reservations: Use transaction MB22 to check if there are any reservations that are consuming the available stock.
  
  
  Adjust Stock: If stock is indeed required, you may need to receive stock into the system (e.g., through goods receipt) or transfer stock from another location.
  
  
  Batch Check: If batch management is in use, ensure that the required batch is available and not restricted.
  
  
  Review Movement Types: Ensure that the movement type being used is appropriate for the transaction and that it allows for the stock to be used.
  
  
  Consult with Inventory Management: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult with your inventory management or logistics team to understand if there are any specific business rules or processes affecting stock availability.

  User Authorizations: Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate stock levels.
