• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W7036 - No stock level determination possible for material group &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W7036 - No stock level determination possible for material group &1
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the system cannot determine the stock level for the specified material group because the necessary configuration or master data is missing or incomplete.
  In SAP, stock level determination is often used in inventory management, MRP (Material Requirements Planning), or sales order processing to check stock availability. The system groups materials into material groups, and stock level determination settings must be maintained for these groups.
  If the system cannot find the stock level determination settings for the material group in question, it issues this warning.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Missing or incomplete stock level determination configuration for the material group in customizing.
  The material group is not assigned properly in the material master or the relevant configuration.
  The stock level determination indicator is not maintained or activated for the material group.
  The system is trying to perform stock level checks in a process where the material group is not configured for such checks.
  
  
  Where to Check / Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Group in Material Master:
  
  Transaction: MM03 (Display Material)
  Verify the material group assigned to the material.
  
  
  
  Maintain Stock Level Determination for Material Group:
  
  Path in SAP IMG (Implementation Guide):
  
  Logistics ? Materials Management ? Inventory Management and Physical Inventory ? Stock Level Determination ? Define Stock Level Determination for Material Groups
  
  
  Or depending on your SAP version and module, the path might be:
  
  Logistics ? Production ? Material Requirements Planning ? Stock Level Determination
  
  
  Ensure that the material group &1 (the one in the message) has stock level determination settings maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing for Stock Level Determination:
  
  Use transaction SPRO ? Navigate to the relevant node for stock level determination.
  Maintain the stock level parameters such as minimum stock, maximum stock, reorder point, etc., for the material group.
  
  
  
  Assign Material Group to Stock Level Determination:
  
  Sometimes, stock level determination is done via a combination of plant and material group.
  Make sure the combination exists and is properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If custom logic is used for stock level determination, verify that it handles all material groups correctly.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W), not an error, so the process might continue but without stock level checks.
  Ignoring this warning might lead to incorrect stock availability information or planning errors.
  If you do not use stock level determination for the material group, you can ignore the warning, but it is better to maintain the configuration properly.
  Sometimes, this message appears during MRP runs or sales order processing when the system tries to check stock levels.
