  Error Message
  W7001: Material &1 still has warehouse stock in plant &2
  
  &1 = Material number
  &2 = Plant
  
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs when you try to perform certain material master changes or deletions (such as flagging a material for deletion at plant level or changing certain material master data) but the system detects that there is still stock of the material in the warehouse at the specified plant.
  In other words, the system prevents you from deleting or making certain changes to a material if there is still stock physically available in the warehouse for that material in the given plant.
  
  Typical Scenarios When This Occurs
  
  Attempting to flag a material for deletion at plant level (MM06 transaction or material master change).
  Trying to delete or block a material that still has stock.
  Changing certain material master data that is restricted when stock exists.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Stock Levels:
  
  Use transaction MMBE (Stock Overview) or LX02 (Inventory Management) to check the stock of the material in the plant and warehouse.
  Confirm if there is any unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked, or consignment stock.
  
  
  
  Clear Stock:
  
  If stock exists and you want to delete or flag the material for deletion, you must first clear the stock.
  Options to clear stock:
  
  Use MB1A (Goods Issue) or MIGO to issue stock out (e.g., scrapping, consumption).
  Transfer stock to another material or plant if applicable.
  Perform physical inventory and adjust stock if stock records are incorrect.
  Return stock to vendor or customer if applicable.
  
  
  
  
  
  After Stock is Cleared:
  
  Once the stock is zero, you can proceed with the deletion flag or material master changes.
  
  
  
  If Stock Should Not Exist:
  
  Investigate if stock records are incorrect or if there are open stock postings.
  Run inventory reports and reconcile stock.
  Check for stock in special stock categories (e.g., quality inspection, blocked stock).
