  The SAP error message MILL075 indicates that there is a negative remaining quantity for a material, which prevents the system from processing a goods issue for scrapping. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management and materials management within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  Negative Stock: The most common cause of this error is that the remaining quantity of the material in stock has gone negative. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Incorrect postings in previous transactions (e.g., goods receipts, goods issues).
  Manual adjustments that led to an incorrect stock level.
  Issues with inventory reconciliation.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type used for the goods issue may not be appropriate for the current stock situation.
  
  
  Stock Type Issues: The material might be in a stock type that does not allow for scrapping (e.g., blocked stock).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Stock Levels: 
  
  Use transaction codes like MMBE (Stock Overview) or MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand) to check the current stock levels of the material in question.
  Ensure that the stock levels are correct and that there are no negative quantities.
  
  
  
  Correct Stock Postings:
  
  If you find that the stock levels are incorrect, you may need to reverse or correct previous transactions that led to the negative stock. This can be done using transaction codes like MBST (Cancel Document) or MIGO (Goods Movement).
  
  
  
  Review Movement Types:
