• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VLMOVE100 - Stock transfer plant/location (&1/&2) cannot be used (decentr. WMS/EWM) ?

  The SAP error message VLMOVE100 indicates that there is an issue with a stock transfer between plants or locations in a decentralized Warehouse Management System (WMS) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) environment. This error typically arises when the system cannot process a stock transfer due to configuration or data issues.
  Cause:
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The plant or storage location may not be properly configured for decentralized WMS/EWM. This could include missing settings in the warehouse management view of the material master or incorrect assignment of the plant to the warehouse.
  
  
  Incompatible Settings: The settings for the plants or storage locations involved in the transfer may not be compatible with decentralized WMS/EWM processes. For example, if one plant is set up for decentralized WMS and the other is not, this can lead to errors.
  
  
  Stock Type Issues: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) may not be allowed for transfer in the current configuration.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: There may be missing or incorrect master data related to the materials, plants, or storage locations involved in the transfer.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Verify that both the source and destination plants/storage locations are correctly configured for decentralized WMS/EWM. This includes checking the warehouse number assignment and ensuring that the necessary settings are in place.
  
  
  Review Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is complete and correctly set up for both plants. Check the warehouse management view of the material master for any missing information.
  
  
  Stock Type Verification: Confirm that the stock type being transferred is allowed for the transfer process. If necessary, adjust the stock type or the configuration to permit the transfer.
  
  
  Transaction Code: Use transaction codes like OMW0 (for warehouse management) or SPRO (to access the configuration settings) to review and adjust the necessary settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration steps related to decentralized WMS/EWM.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test transfer to ensure that the issue is resolved.
