  Material - (additional quantities to warehouse data) ...: &
  
  1. Cause
  The warning message W4802 typically occurs during inventory management or warehouse management processes when there is an attempt to add additional quantities to the warehouse stock data for a material, but the system detects some inconsistency or requires confirmation.
  More specifically, this message is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to post goods movements (e.g., goods receipt, transfer posting) that increase the stock quantity in the warehouse.
  The system notices that the warehouse stock data for the material is being updated with additional quantities.
  It may be a warning to confirm that the additional quantities are intentional and that the warehouse stock data is consistent.
  
  This message is often informational or a warning rather than an error, prompting the user to verify the data.
  
  2. Solution
  
  
  Check the warehouse stock data: Verify the current stock quantities for the material in the warehouse. Use transaction codes like LX02 (Display Warehouse Stocks on Bin Level) or MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand) to check the stock situation.
  
  
  Confirm the posting: If the additional quantities are correct and intentional, you can proceed with the posting. The message is a warning and does not necessarily block the transaction.
  
  
  Investigate inconsistencies: If the quantities seem incorrect or unexpected, investigate possible reasons such as:
  
  Previous postings not updated correctly.
  Differences between inventory management and warehouse management data.
  Incorrect movement types or posting keys used.
  
  
  
  Adjust stock if necessary: If discrepancies exist, perform stock adjustments or physical inventory postings to correct the warehouse stock data.
  
  
  Check configuration: Ensure that the warehouse management settings and integration with inventory management are correctly configured.
