    SAP Error Message:
    W5004 - There are no error-free items for a reservation


    Cause:

    This warning message typically occurs during the processing of a reservation (e.g., goods issue, transfer posting, or reservation creation/change) when the system finds that all items in the reservation have errors or issues that prevent them from being processed successfully. As a result, there are no items without errors to proceed with.

    Common causes include:

    • Incorrect or missing master data: Material master, storage location, or plant data might be incomplete or inconsistent.
    • Insufficient stock: The stock available is not sufficient to fulfill the reservation.
    • Incorrect reservation data: The reservation might reference materials or quantities that are invalid or no longer available.
    • Status or lock issues: The reservation or related documents might be locked or in a status that prevents processing.
    • Authorization issues: User might lack the necessary permissions to process the reservation items.
    • Configuration issues: Customizing settings related to reservations or inventory management might be incorrect.

    Solution:

    To resolve the W5004 message, follow these steps:

    1. Check the reservation items:

      • Review each item in the reservation for errors or warnings.
      • Identify which items have issues and what those issues are.
    2. Analyze stock availability:

      • Use transaction MB52 or MMBE to check stock levels for the materials and storage locations involved.
      • Ensure sufficient stock is available for the quantities requested.
    3. Verify master data:

      • Check material master data (MM03) for correctness.
      • Confirm storage location and plant data are valid and active.
    4. Check reservation status:

      • Use transaction MB24 or MB25 to view reservation details and status.
      • Ensure the reservation is not locked or already processed.
    5. Correct errors:

      • Adjust quantities, materials, or storage locations as needed.
      • If stock is insufficient, either procure more stock or reduce reservation quantities.
    6. Authorization check:

      • Confirm the user has the necessary authorizations to process the reservation.
    7. Reprocess the reservation:

      • After corrections, try to process the reservation again.

      • Always resolve underlying item errors before proceeding.

    Summary:
