- Invalid Stock: The stock that has been selected does not meet the criteria for the operation (e.g., it may be in a different status, location, or not available for the action).
- User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access or select the stock.

- Review User Permissions: Check if your user role has the necessary permissions to access and select the stock. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your permissions.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or help files for guidance on stock selection and the specific operation you are trying to perform.

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.
