• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W7080 - Stock cannot be determined in material group &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message W7080: "Stock cannot be determined in material group &1":
  
  Error Message:
  W7080 - Stock cannot be determined in material group &1
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when SAP is unable to determine the stock for a material within the specified material group during a process such as sales order creation, delivery processing, or availability check.
  The main reasons include:
  
  Material group configuration issues: The material group specified does not have stock assigned or maintained.
  Stock not maintained or zero stock: There is no stock available for any material within the material group.
  Incorrect or missing material group assignment: The material or the transaction references a material group that is not properly linked or maintained.
  Stock determination strategy or rules: The system’s stock determination logic cannot find stock for the material group due to configuration or master data issues.
  Material master data issues: The material master may not be properly maintained or assigned to the correct material group.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During availability check (e.g., in sales order or delivery).
  When the system tries to determine stock for a material group rather than a specific material.
  In processes involving stock determination or stock assignment based on material groups.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Group Configuration:
  
  Verify that the material group (&1) exists and is correctly maintained in the system.
  Transaction codes: OMS2 (for material group configuration), or check material master data.
  
  
  
  Check Stock for Materials in the Material Group:
  
  Use transaction MMBE (Stock Overview) to check stock levels for materials assigned to the material group.
  Ensure that there is available stock for at least one material in the group.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Check that materials are correctly assigned to the material group.
  Use transaction MM03 to view material master and confirm the material group field.
  
  
  
  Review Stock Determination Settings:
  
  If stock determination is based on material groups, check the configuration in the relevant customizing.
  For example, in sales and distribution, check the availability check settings (OVZ9).
  
  
  
  Check Transaction or Process Logic:
  
  Ensure that the process or transaction is correctly referencing the material or material group.
  Sometimes custom developments or user exits may incorrectly reference material groups.
  
  
  
  Stock Replenishment or Procurement:
  
  If stock is zero, consider replenishing stock or adjusting procurement plans.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  This is a warning message (W), so the process may continue but with a risk that stock availability is not confirmed.
  If this message appears frequently, it may indicate a need to review master data and stock management processes.
  In some cases, the message can be suppressed or handled via user exits or BAdIs if business logic requires it.
