• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMSA_STD028 - Quantity 0 is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message RMSA_STD028, which states "Quantity 0 is not permitted," typically occurs in the context of inventory management or logistics when a transaction is attempted with a quantity of zero. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as during goods movements, stock transfers, or when processing sales orders.
  Cause:
  
  Zero Quantity Input: The most common cause is that a user is trying to process a transaction (like a goods receipt, goods issue, or stock transfer) with a quantity of zero.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that do not allow transactions with zero quantities.
  Business Rules: Certain business rules or validations may be in place that prevent processing transactions with zero quantities.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Ensure that the quantity being entered in the transaction is greater than zero. If the intention is to process a transaction, make sure to specify a valid quantity.
  Review Transaction Logic: If the transaction is being generated programmatically (e.g., through a custom program or interface), review the logic to ensure that it does not attempt to submit a zero quantity.
  Configuration Review: If you believe that the system should allow zero quantities for specific transactions, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to inventory management and logistics.
  Business Process Review: Discuss with relevant stakeholders to understand if there are business rules that need to be adjusted or if the process needs to be modified to accommodate scenarios where zero quantities might be valid.
