• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0111 - Do not maintain any field in the selection values for stock data box ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message W0111: "Do not maintain any field in the selection values for stock data box":
  
  Error Message:
  W0111 - Do not maintain any field in the selection values for stock data box
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically appears when you are running a report or transaction that includes a selection screen with a stock data box (often related to material stock or inventory data), and you have entered values in fields that are not supposed to be manually maintained or restricted in that particular selection area.
  In many SAP standard reports or transactions, the stock data box is designed to fetch stock data dynamically based on other selection criteria (like material number, plant, storage location, etc.). If you try to manually enter or restrict fields inside this box (for example, entering selection values for stock fields that are meant to be left open), the system issues this warning.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When running inventory or stock reports (e.g., MB52, MB5B, or custom reports involving stock data).
  When the selection screen includes a stock data selection area that is controlled by the program logic.
  When users try to restrict or filter stock data fields manually, which conflicts with the program's internal logic.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Do not enter values in the stock data selection fields manually:
  
  Leave the stock data box fields empty unless the program explicitly allows or requires input.
  The program will internally handle the stock data selection based on other criteria.
  
  
  
  Check the selection screen design:
  
  If you are a developer or customizing consultant, review the selection screen logic.
  Ensure that the stock data box fields are either disabled or not included in the selection criteria for manual input.
  Use appropriate screen attributes or program logic to prevent users from entering values in these fields.
  
  
  
  Follow SAP standard usage:
  
  Use the selection criteria as intended by SAP standard reports.
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes for the specific report or transaction to understand which fields should be maintained.
  
  
  
  If custom development is involved:
  
  Adjust the selection screen or the validation logic to avoid this warning.
  Possibly remove the stock data box from manual input or handle the input validation programmatically.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Sometimes SAP releases notes related to specific reports or transactions that clarify the correct usage of selection screens.
  Transaction Codes: Common transactions where this message might appear include MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand), MB5B (Stocks for Posting Date), or custom reports involving stock data.
  ABAP Development: Developers should be aware of the selection screen design and avoid allowing manual input in fields that are meant to be system-controlled.
  User Training: End users should be trained not to enter values in the stock data box unless explicitly instructed.
