  SAP Message W4330
  Message Text:
  
  Special stocks at the customer ................: &
  
  Cause
  This warning message typically appears during goods movements (such as goods issue, transfer posting, or delivery processing) involving special stock at a customer. The system is informing you that there are special stocks (e.g., consignment stock, project stock, sales order stock) assigned to a particular customer or customer-related stock that is relevant to the transaction.
  The message is often triggered when:
  
  You try to perform a goods movement that affects special stock at a customer.
  The system detects that the stock involved is special stock linked to a customer, and it wants to confirm or warn you about this.
  There might be inconsistencies or special handling required for these stocks.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  
  Special stocks at the customer refer to stock that is physically or legally assigned to a customer but still managed in your inventory system. Examples include:
  
  Consignment stock: Stock stored at the customer’s premises but owned by the vendor until consumption.
  Sales order stock: Stock reserved for a specific sales order/customer.
  Project stock: Stock assigned to a project/customer.
  
  
  
  The system issues this warning to ensure that the user is aware that the stock movement involves special stock, which may have different accounting, ownership, or logistical implications.
  
  
  
  Solution / How to Handle
  
  
  Review the transaction:
  
  Check the details of the goods movement or delivery to confirm that the special stock at the customer is correctly handled.
  
  
  Check stock type and ownership:
  
  Verify if the stock is indeed special stock at the customer (e.g., consignment stock). Use transaction codes like MB52 or MB5T to display stock overview.
  
  
  Confirm or adjust the movement:  
  
  If the movement is correct, you can proceed after acknowledging the warning.
  If the movement is incorrect (e.g., you are trying to move stock that should not be moved), correct the transaction or stock assignment.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:  
  
  Ensure that the special stock indicators and movement types are correctly configured in your system.
  Review the movement type settings in OMJJ and special stock indicators in OMS2.
  
  
  
  Consult documentation or SAP notes:
