  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be an error in the quantity being entered for the operation, leading to an attempt to consume more stock than is available.
  Configuration Issues: There might be settings in the system that do not allow negative stock levels for certain materials or in certain plants.
  Timing Issues: If there are pending transactions that have not yet been processed, they may affect the available stock.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Current Stock Levels: Verify the current stock levels of the item in question. You can do this using transaction codes like MMBE (Stock Overview) or MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand).
  Adjust Quantities: If you are trying to issue or transfer stock, ensure that the quantity you are entering does not exceed the available stock.
  Review Pending Transactions: Check for any pending transactions that may affect stock levels. This includes goods receipts, production orders, or other inventory movements.
  Configuration Review: If negative stock is not allowed for the material, consider reviewing the material master settings or the configuration in the system to see if adjustments are necessary.
  Consult with a SAP Specialist: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with a SAP specialist or your internal IT team to investigate further.
  
  Related Information:
