  SAP Error Message:
  W7059 - Third-party special stock exists for mat. &1 in plant &2 in st.loc &3
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that there is existing third-party special stock for the specified material (&1) in the given plant (&2) and storage location (&3). 
  Third-party special stock refers to stock that is owned by a vendor or a third party but is physically stored at your plant or storage location. This stock is managed separately from your own stock.
  The message typically appears when you try to perform an operation that conflicts with the presence of third-party special stock, such as:
  
  Attempting to delete or change the material master data.
  Trying to change stock-related parameters or settings.
  Performing stock transfers or movements that are not allowed due to the presence of third-party stock.
  Attempting to create or change stock in a way that conflicts with the existing third-party stock.
  
  
  Possible Causes:
  
  There is existing third-party stock for the material in the specified plant and storage location.
  The system detects that the operation you are trying to perform may affect or conflict with this third-party stock.
  The material is flagged or managed as third-party special stock in the system.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check Third-Party Stock:
  
  Use transaction MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand) or MB5T (Stock in transit) to check if third-party stock exists for the material in the plant and storage location.
  Alternatively, use MMSC or MMSL to check special stock.
  
  
  
  Review Stock Ownership:
  
  Verify if the stock is indeed third-party stock (special stock indicator 'K' for consignment, 'O' for third-party, etc.).
  Use transaction MB51 or MB03 to check material documents related to third-party stock.
  
  
  
  Adjust Your Operation:
  
  If you are trying to delete or change the material master, ensure that all third-party stock is cleared or transferred.
  If you want to transfer or consume the third-party stock, follow the correct process for third-party stock handling.
  If you want to change stock parameters, first clear or transfer the third-party stock.
  
  
  
  Clear Third-Party Stock:
  
  If the third-party stock is no longer needed, coordinate with the vendor to return or consume the stock.
  Post goods issue or return delivery to clear the third-party stock.
  
  
  
  Consult with Inventory or Purchasing Team:
  
  Since third-party stock involves vendor ownership, coordinate with purchasing or inventory management to handle the stock properly.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Third-party special stock is managed separately in SAP using special stock indicators (e.g., 'O' for third-party stock).
  Operations on materials with third-party stock require careful handling to avoid inconsistencies.
  This message is a warning (W), so it may not stop the process but indicates a potential issue.
  Always ensure stock consistency before performing master data changes or stock movements.
