  SAP Error Message: W4805 - Logical stock still exists
  1. Cause:
  The message W4805 - Logical stock still exists typically occurs when you try to perform a stock transfer, stock deletion, or material master deletion, but there are still logical stocks present in the system for the material in question.
  Logical stock refers to stock that is segregated by certain stock types or stock statuses within the same plant and storage location. Examples include:
  
  Stock in quality inspection (Q stock)
  Blocked stock
  Stock in transit
  Stock in special stock categories (e.g., consignment stock, project stock, sales order stock)
  
  If any of these logical stocks still exist, the system prevents certain operations (like deletion or transfer) because the stock is not fully cleared or accounted for.
  
  2. When does this error occur?
  
  When trying to delete a material master record but the material still has stock in any logical stock category.
  When attempting to transfer stock or perform stock adjustments but logical stock is still present.
  When trying to perform physical inventory or stock reconciliation and logical stock is not cleared.
  
  
  3. Solution:
  To resolve the W4805 message, you need to ensure that all logical stocks for the material are cleared. Here are the steps:
  
  
  Check stock overview: Use transaction MMBE or MB52 to check the stock situation for the material. Look for stock in all stock types and special stocks.
  
  
  Clear quality inspection stock: If stock is in quality inspection, either accept or reject the stock to move it to unrestricted or blocked stock.
  
  
  Clear blocked stock: Investigate and either release or physically remove blocked stock.
  
  
  Clear stock in transit: Wait for or complete the stock transfer process.
  
  
  Clear special stock: For consignment, project, or sales order stock, ensure that these stocks are either consumed, returned, or transferred appropriately.
  
  
  Perform stock transfer or goods movement: Use transactions like MB1B, MIGO, or MBRL to move or clear stock.
  
  
  After clearing all logical stocks, retry the operation that triggered the error.
