• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3430 - Low Stock Check in combination with Difference to Warehouse not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3430 typically indicates that there is a low stock check issue in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, specifically when there is a discrepancy between the stock in the warehouse and the stock that is expected or required for a particular operation. The message "Difference to Warehouse not allowed" suggests that the system has detected a difference between the stock levels that are recorded in the system and the actual stock levels in the warehouse, which is not permissible for the operation being performed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Stock Discrepancy: The most common cause of this error is a mismatch between the stock levels in the system and the physical stock in the warehouse. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect stock postings.
  Unrecorded stock movements (e.g., goods receipts, goods issues).
  Inventory discrepancies due to theft, damage, or misplacement of goods.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in EWM that restrict stock differences for certain operations or processes.
  
  
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, blocked, quality inspection) may have specific rules that prevent certain operations if stock levels are low.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Stock Reconciliation: Conduct a physical inventory count to verify the actual stock levels in the warehouse. Compare these levels with the stock recorded in the SAP system. Adjust the stock in the system as necessary to match the physical count.
  
  
  Review Stock Movements: Check for any unposted or incorrectly posted stock movements. Ensure that all goods receipts, goods issues, and transfers have been properly recorded in the system.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the error is due to configuration settings, review the EWM settings related to stock checks and discrepancies. You may need to adjust the settings to allow for certain differences, depending on your business requirements.
  
  
  Check Stock Types: Ensure that the stock type being used for the operation allows for the required stock levels. If necessary, move stock to a different type that permits the operation.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling low stock checks and discrepancies in EWM.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI for stock monitoring and /SCWM/INV for inventory management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for potential bug fixes or updates.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your EWM system, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect stock handling and checks.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in EWM for further assistance.
