    Cause

    • The warning message W4306 typically appears during warehouse management (WM) or inventory transactions when there is an issue related to the material data in a specific storage type.
    • The message indicates that the system has detected a problem or inconsistency with the material master data or its assignment to the storage type mentioned.
    • Common causes include:
      • The material is not maintained or not allowed in the specified storage type.
      • The storage type does not allow the material’s stock category or special stock indicator.
      • Missing or incorrect configuration in the warehouse management settings for the storage type.
      • The material master data is incomplete or missing relevant WM views or storage type assignments.

    Solution

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material) and verify the WM views.
      • Ensure that the material is extended to the relevant plant and storage location.
      • Check if the material is allowed in the storage type in question.
    2. Verify Storage Type Settings:

      • Use transaction SPRO to navigate to Warehouse Management configuration:
        • Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Master Data ? Define Storage Types.
      • Check if the storage type allows the material type or stock category.
      • Verify if any restrictions or special stock indicators are configured for the storage type.
    3. Check Warehouse Number and Storage Type Assignment:

      • Ensure that the material is assigned correctly to the warehouse number and storage type.
      • Use transaction LS01N or LS02N to check storage bin and storage type assignments.
    4. Review Stock and Special Stock Indicators:

      • If the material is special stock (e.g., consignment, project stock), verify that the storage type supports this special stock.
    5. Adjust or Maintain Missing Data:

      • If any data is missing or inconsistent, maintain the required data in the material master or warehouse management configuration.
