• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L1123 - Only quants that are not blocked may be deleted ?

  The SAP error message L1123 ("Only quants that are not blocked may be deleted") typically occurs in the context of inventory management, particularly when dealing with quant (quantities) in storage locations. This error indicates that you are trying to delete a quant that is currently blocked, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete a quant that is in a blocked status. Quants can be blocked for various reasons, such as:
  
  Blocked Stock: The stock is marked as blocked due to quality issues, pending inspection, or other reasons.
  Stock in Transfer: The stock is in the process of being transferred and cannot be deleted until the transfer is completed.
  Open Deliveries: There may be open deliveries or reservations that are linked to the quant, preventing its deletion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Quant:
  
  Use transaction code MMBE (Stock Overview) to check the status of the quant you are trying to delete. Look for any indicators that show the stock is blocked.
  
  
  
  Unblock the Stock:
  
  If the stock is blocked due to quality issues, you may need to perform a quality inspection and then either release the stock or move it to unrestricted stock.
  If the stock is blocked for other reasons, investigate the cause and take appropriate action to unblock it.
  
  
  
  Check for Open Deliveries or Reservations:
  
  Use transaction codes like VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) or MB22 (Change Reservation) to check if there are any open deliveries or reservations linked to the quant. If so, you may need to complete or cancel those transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Warehouse Management Team:
  
  If you are unsure why the quant is blocked, consult with your warehouse management or inventory control team for further insights.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code MB1A or MB1B**:
  
  If you need to move the stock to a different status or location, you can use these transaction codes to perform the necessary stock movements.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MMBE, MB1A, MB1B, and VL03N for managing stock and deliveries.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on inventory management and stock handling.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform stock deletions and modifications.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate actions to resolve it.
