The SAP error message
/SCWM/L3172 No matched preallocated stock found. Product sent to normal ptwy process
typically occurs in the context of warehouse management, particularly when dealing with the handling of stock in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the system could not find any preallocated stock for a specific product, and as a result, the product is being processed through the normal putaway process instead.Cause:
Preallocated Stock Not Available: The primary reason for this error is that there is no preallocated stock available for the product in question. Preallocated stock is stock that has been reserved for a specific purpose or order but is not yet physically moved to the designated storage location.
Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the warehouse management settings that prevent the system from recognizing preallocated stock.
Stock Status: The stock might be in a status that does not allow it to be used for preallocation (e.g., blocked, quality inspection).
Incorrect Product or Location: The product or storage location being referenced may not have any preallocated stock due to incorrect data entry or system settings.
Solution:
Check Preallocated Stock: Verify if there is any preallocated stock for the product in question. You can do this by checking the stock overview in the EWM system.
Review Configuration: Ensure that the warehouse management configuration is set up correctly to allow for preallocation. This includes checking the settings for stock types, storage types, and putaway strategies.
Stock Status Review: Check the status of the stock. If the stock is blocked or in quality inspection, it may not be available for preallocation. Resolve any issues with the stock status.
Adjust Putaway Strategies: If necessary, adjust the putaway strategies to ensure that the system can find suitable stock for preallocation.
Manual Intervention: If the system continues to send the product to the normal putaway process and this is not desired, you may need to manually intervene to allocate stock or adjust the process.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
