• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LT264 - Lean WM not allowed: there are already quants in storage type &1 ?

  The SAP error message LT264 ("Lean WM not allowed: there are already quants in storage type &1") typically occurs in the context of Lean Warehouse Management (Lean WM) when you attempt to perform an operation that is not permitted because there are already existing quants (quantities of stock) in the specified storage type.
  Cause:
  This error arises when:
  
  You are trying to perform a stock movement (like a transfer or putaway) into a storage type that already contains stock.
  Lean WM does not allow certain operations if there are existing quants in the storage type, as it may lead to inconsistencies in stock management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Quants: Use transaction code LX02 or LS24 to check the existing quants in the specified storage type. This will help you understand what stock is already present.
  
  
  Clear Existing Quants: If the existing quants are not needed, you may need to remove or adjust them. This can be done through:
  
  Stock removal transactions (e.g., using LT0S for stock removal).
  Adjusting stock levels if there are discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Change Storage Type: If the operation you are trying to perform is valid but cannot be executed in the current storage type due to existing quants, consider using a different storage type that is empty or suitable for the operation.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for Lean WM to ensure that the storage type is set up correctly and that the operations you are trying to perform are allowed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for Lean WM to understand the specific rules and limitations regarding storage types and quants.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
