Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WM147 - Material already listed and no multiple listing allowed ?

  The SAP error message WM147 ("Material already listed and no multiple listing allowed") typically occurs in the Warehouse Management (WM) module when you attempt to perform an action that involves a material that is already listed in a specific context, such as a transfer order or a stock transfer, and the system does not allow multiple listings of that material.
  Cause:
  
  Single Listing Requirement: The system is configured to allow only a single listing of a material in a particular context (e.g., a transfer order). This is often a business rule to prevent confusion or errors in inventory management.
  Existing Transfer Order: The material you are trying to list is already part of an existing transfer order or another operation that requires it to be uniquely identified.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the Warehouse Management configuration may restrict multiple listings for certain materials or under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Listings: Verify if the material is already listed in another transfer order or operation. You can do this by checking the relevant documents in the system.
  Use Different Material: If the operation allows, consider using a different material or a different batch of the same material if applicable.
  Modify Transfer Order: If you have access, you may need to modify the existing transfer order to accommodate the new listing or to remove the material from the existing order if it is no longer needed.
  Configuration Review: If this is a recurring issue, review the WM configuration settings with your SAP administrator or consultant to determine if the restriction on multiple listings is necessary or if it can be adjusted.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling this error in your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as LT03 (Create Transfer Order), LT12 (Confirm Transfer Order), and MB1B (Transfer Posting) to manage materials effectively.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform the actions you are attempting, as restrictions may also be related to user roles.

  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant for further assistance.
