• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L3387 - Open TRs exist. Posting change must take place at bin ?

  The SAP error message L3387 ("Open TRs exist. Posting change must take place at bin") typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and inventory management processes. This error indicates that there are open transfer orders (TRs) for the material in question, and as a result, the system is preventing a posting change (such as a stock transfer or adjustment) from being executed at the bin level.
  Cause:
  
  Open Transfer Orders: The primary cause of this error is that there are open transfer orders associated with the material in the specified storage bin. These transfer orders may be in various statuses (e.g., created, in process) and need to be completed or canceled before any changes can be made to the stock in that bin.
  Stock Management Settings: The system is configured to require that certain stock movements (like posting changes) must occur at the bin level when there are open transfer orders.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Open Transfer Orders:
  
  Use transaction code LT24 (Display Transfer Order) to view the open transfer orders for the material in question.
  Identify the transfer orders that are open and determine their status.
  
  
  
  Complete or Cancel Transfer Orders:
  
  If the transfer orders are no longer needed, you can cancel them using transaction code LT0G (Cancel Transfer Order).
  If they are still valid, ensure that they are processed and completed. You can do this by confirming the transfer orders using transaction code LT12 (Confirm Transfer Order).
  
  
  
  Review Stock Movement:
  
  After addressing the open transfer orders, attempt the stock movement or posting change again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
