• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MIGO043 - Check combination of movement type and stock type ?

  The SAP error message MIGO043 ("Check combination of movement type and stock type") typically occurs during the goods movement process in SAP, particularly when using the MIGO transaction. This error indicates that there is an issue with the combination of the movement type you are trying to use and the stock type associated with the material.
  Causes:
  
  
  Invalid Movement Type: The movement type you are using may not be allowed for the stock type you are trying to process. For example, certain movement types are restricted to specific stock types (e.g., unrestricted stock, quality inspection stock, blocked stock).
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the system may not allow the combination of the selected movement type and stock type. This can happen if the movement type is not properly defined in the system or if the stock type is not set up correctly.
  
  
  Material Status: The material may have a status that restricts certain movements. For example, if the material is in a blocked stock status, certain movement types may not be applicable.
  
  
  Plant/Storage Location Issues: The plant or storage location settings may not support the movement type for the stock type you are trying to use.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration: Verify the configuration of the movement type in the SAP system. You can do this by navigating to the movement type settings in the SPRO transaction (IMG) under:
  
  Logistics Execution > Shipping > Transfer Order > Movement Types > Define Movement Types.
  
  
  
  Review Stock Type: Ensure that the stock type you are trying to use is compatible with the movement type. You can check the stock types in the material master record.
  
  
  Material Master Data: Check the material master data for the material you are trying to move. Ensure that the material is not in a status that would prevent the movement.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific details on the movement types and stock types to understand the valid combinations.
