  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WM002 - Selection not allowed ?

    The SAP error message WM002 ("Selection not allowed") typically occurs in the Warehouse Management (WM) module when a user attempts to perform an action that is not permitted based on the current configuration or status of the warehouse or the materials involved. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:

    Causes:

    1. Warehouse Configuration: The warehouse may not be properly configured to allow the operation you are trying to perform. This could include issues with storage types, bins, or other settings.
    2. Material Status: The material you are trying to work with may have a status that prevents it from being selected (e.g., blocked, restricted).
    3. Movement Type Restrictions: The movement type you are using may not be allowed for the specific warehouse or material.
    4. User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action in the specified warehouse.
    5. Stock Type: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) may not allow the operation you are trying to perform.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Warehouse Configuration: Review the configuration of the warehouse in the SAP system. Ensure that the storage types and bins are set up correctly and that the warehouse is active.
    2. Review Material Status: Check the status of the material in question. If it is blocked or restricted, you may need to change its status or resolve any issues preventing its use.
    3. Verify Movement Type: Ensure that the movement type you are using is appropriate for the operation you are trying to perform. You can check the allowed movement types for the warehouse and material.
    4. User Authorizations: Confirm that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the action. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
    5. Stock Type Check: Verify the stock type of the material. If it is in a stock type that does not allow the operation, you may need to transfer it to a different stock type.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as LT03 (Transfer Order), LT01 (Transfer Order Creation), and MB1A (Goods Withdrawal) to understand where the error might be occurring.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to the WM002 error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
