• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L1122 - Quant cannot be deleted because it still contains stock ?

  The SAP error message L1122 indicates that a quant (a specific quantity of stock in a storage bin) cannot be deleted because it still contains stock. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and inventory management within SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete a quant that has stock associated with it. A quant represents a specific quantity of a material stored in a particular storage bin, and if there are still items in that quant, SAP will prevent its deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the quant is empty before attempting to delete it. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Stock Levels: Use transaction codes like LX03 (Display Stock Overview) or MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand) to check the stock levels in the specific storage bin.
  
  
  Remove Stock: If there is stock in the quant, you will need to either:
  
  Move the stock to another location using a transfer order (transaction code LT01 for creating transfer orders).
  Post the stock out using a goods issue (transaction code MB1A or MIGO for goods movements).
  
  
  
  Delete the Quant: Once the quant is empty, you can proceed to delete it using the appropriate transaction (e.g., LX02 for deleting quants).
  
  
  Check for Open Transfer Orders: Ensure there are no open transfer orders that might be referencing the quant.
