  W7061 - Company-own special stock exists for material &1 in plant &2
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to perform an operation (such as stock transfer, deletion, or change of stock type) on a material in a plant, but there is existing company-owned special stock for that material in the specified plant.
  Company-own special stock refers to stock that is owned by the company but is managed separately from the regular stock. Examples include:
  
  Stock at a vendor (stock in transit)
  Stock at a customer (consignment stock)
  Project stock
  Sales order stock
  Stock in quality inspection or blocked stock (depending on configuration)
  
  The system detects that such special stock exists and issues this warning to prevent unintended consequences or data inconsistencies.
  
  When does this message typically appear?

  Solution:
  
  
  Check the special stock:
  
  Use transaction MB52 or MMBE to check the stock overview for the material in the plant.
  Look specifically for special stock categories (e.g., consignment stock, project stock, sales order stock).

  Determine if the special stock should be cleared or transferred before proceeding.
  If the special stock is still valid, you may need to adjust your process to accommodate it.
  
  
  
  Clear or transfer special stock if appropriate:
  
  If the special stock is obsolete or needs to be removed, perform the necessary goods movements to clear it.
  For example, transfer consignment stock back to the vendor or consume project stock.
  
  
  
  Proceed with the original operation:
  
  After clearing or handling the special stock, retry the operation that triggered the warning.
