• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH084 - Special stock &1 is not supported ?

  The SAP error message:
  WH084 Special stock &1 is not supported
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a warehouse management (WM) transaction or process involving a special stock type that is not supported in the Warehouse Management module. In SAP, special stocks (such as consignment stock, project stock, sales order stock, etc.) have specific handling rules, and not all special stock types are supported or allowed in WM processes.
  For example, if you try to create a transfer order or post goods movement in WM for a special stock type that WM does not handle, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The placeholder &1 in the message will be replaced by the special stock indicator (e.g., K for consignment stock, Q for project stock, E for sales order stock).
  WM supports only certain special stock types. If you attempt to process unsupported special stock types in WM, the system will reject the transaction.

  Solution:
  
  Check the special stock type involved in the transaction causing the error.
  Verify if the special stock type is supported in WM:
  
  Use transaction OMWM or check customizing under Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Interfaces ? Inventory Management ? Define Special Stocks for WM.
  
  
  If the special stock is not supported in WM, you have the following options:
  
  Avoid using WM processes for this special stock type.
  Handle the stock in Inventory Management (IM) only, without WM involvement.
  If business requires WM handling, consider redesigning the process or consult SAP to check if any enhancement or note is available.
  
  
  If the special stock should be supported but is not configured, update the customizing to include the special stock type for WM.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common when integrating Inventory Management (IM) with Warehouse Management (WM).
  Special stocks like project stock (Q) and pipeline stock (O) are typically not managed in WM.
  For consignment stock (K) and sales order stock (E), WM usually supports them, but configuration must be correct.
  Check OSS notes or SAP Help Portal for any updates or patches related to special stock handling in WM.
  
  
  Example:
  If you try to create a transfer order for project stock (Q), you will get:
  WH084 Special stock Q is not supported
  Because project stock is not managed in WM.
