  SAP Error Message:
  W4090 & : & dependent consignment stock records exist
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to perform an operation (such as deleting or changing a material master record, or changing stock data) that affects consignment stock, but there are dependent consignment stock records still existing in the system.
  In other words, the system detects that consignment stock records related to the material or vendor still exist, and these dependent records prevent the requested action from being completed safely.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Consignment stock is stock that is physically stored at the company’s premises but legally owned by the vendor until it is consumed.
  The system maintains dependent consignment stock records linked to the material and vendor.
  If you try to delete or modify the material master or stock data without first clearing or transferring these consignment stocks, SAP raises this warning to prevent data inconsistencies.
