  The SAP error message O3611, which states "Two-Step-Transfer loss is out of tolerance by &1 %," typically occurs in the context of the Two-Step Transfer process in SAP, particularly in the area of production planning and control (PP) or materials management (MM). This error indicates that the loss during the transfer of materials (for example, during a production process or a transfer between storage locations) exceeds the predefined tolerance limit.
  Cause:
  
  
  Excessive Loss: The actual loss during the transfer process exceeds the acceptable tolerance level set in the system. This could be due to various reasons such as:
  
  Inefficient handling of materials.
  Equipment malfunction or inefficiency.
  Human error during the transfer process.
  Incorrect settings in the material master data or production order.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The tolerance levels for losses may not be set correctly in the system, leading to frequent errors.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the materials being transferred, such as incorrect unit of measure or incorrect batch management settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Tolerance Settings: Check the tolerance settings for the Two-Step Transfer process in the configuration. You can adjust the tolerance levels if they are set too tightly for the specific materials or processes involved.
  
  
  Analyze Transfer Process: Investigate the specific transfer process that triggered the error. Look for any inefficiencies or issues that could be causing excessive loss. This may involve:
  
  Reviewing the handling procedures.
  Checking equipment performance.
  Training staff on proper handling techniques.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly configured, including the settings for loss tolerances, unit of measure, and batch management.
  
  
  Monitor and Adjust: After making adjustments, monitor the transfer processes to ensure that the changes have resolved the issue. If the problem persists, further investigation may be needed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the Two-Step Transfer process for additional guidance and best practices.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MB1B (Transfer Posting) or MB1A (Goods Withdrawal) to analyze the transfer processes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide patches related to this error message.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in the transfer process, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect the handling of material transfers.
