• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMRP035 - Stock for product &1 / &2 cannot be negative ?

  The SAP error message PMRP035 indicates that there is an attempt to process a stock quantity for a product that cannot be negative. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management or production planning when the system detects that the stock level for a specific product (identified by the product number and plant) is being set to a negative value, which is not permissible.
  Cause:
  
  Negative Stock Movement: The error often arises when there is an attempt to post a goods issue or a stock transfer that would result in a negative stock level for the specified product.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Manual entry errors during stock adjustments or inventory counts can lead to attempts to reduce stock below zero.
  Configuration Issues: The system may be configured in a way that does not allow negative stock levels for certain materials or in certain plants.
  Pending Transactions: There may be pending transactions that have not been processed, leading to discrepancies in stock levels.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify the current stock levels for the product in question. Use transaction codes like MMBE (Stock Overview) to check the stock status.
  Review Transactions: Look for any recent transactions that may have affected the stock level, such as goods receipts, goods issues, or stock transfers. Ensure that these transactions are correctly posted.
  Adjust Stock Manually: If there is an error in stock levels, you may need to perform a stock adjustment using transaction MB1C (Other Goods Movements) or similar transactions to correct the stock level.
  Configuration Review: If negative stock is not allowed for the material, check the material master settings (transaction MM02) to see if the "Negative Stock" indicator is set correctly.
  Consult with a SAP Expert: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with a SAP functional consultant or your IT department to investigate further.
