  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR048 - No stock exists for value-only material &2 for storage location &1 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WR048 No stock exists for value-only material &2 for storage location &1


    Meaning / Cause:

    • This error occurs when you try to perform a goods movement (such as goods issue, transfer posting, or reservation) for a value-only material that does not have any stock in the specified storage location.
    • Value-only materials are materials that are managed only in terms of value in the inventory management system, but do not have physical stock quantities tracked.
    • Since these materials do not have physical stock, the system cannot find any stock quantity in the storage location, leading to this error.
    • The placeholders:
      • &1 = Storage location
      • &2 = Material number

    When does this happen?

    • When you try to post a goods movement that requires stock quantity (e.g., goods issue, transfer posting) for a value-only material.
    • When the system expects stock quantity but the material is configured as value-only (no quantity management).
    • When the material master is set to Value-Only Management (Inventory Management indicator is off or set to value-only).

    How to check:

    1. Material Master Data:

      • Go to transaction MM03.
      • Check the Accounting 1 view.
      • Look at the Inventory Management indicator.
      • If the material is set as Value-Only, it means no quantity stock is maintained.
    2. Movement Type:

      • Check the movement type used in the transaction.
      • Some movement types require quantity stock to be available.
    3. Storage Location Stock:

      • Use transaction MMBE or MB52 to check stock for the material in the storage location.
      • For value-only materials, stock quantity will always be zero.

    Solution / How to resolve:

    1. If you want to manage stock quantities for the material:

      • Change the material master to enable quantity management.
      • In MM02, go to the Accounting 1 view.
      • Set the Inventory Management indicator to allow quantity management.
      • This will enable stock quantities to be maintained.
      • After this, you can post goods movements that require stock quantities.
    2. If the material is correctly set as value-only:

      • You cannot post goods movements that require quantity stock.
      • Use appropriate movement types or processes that are compatible with value-only materials.
      • For example, use movement types that post value changes without requiring quantity stock.
      • Alternatively, handle the transaction via FI (Financial Accounting) postings rather than MM (Material Management).
    3. Check the business process:

      • Confirm if the goods movement is necessary for a value-only material.
      • If the process requires physical stock, reconsider the material master settings.

    Additional Information:

    • Value-Only Materials are typically used for materials that are not physically stocked but need to be accounted for financially (e.g., services, consumables, or materials managed only in value).
    • Movement types that require quantity stock will not work with value-only materials.
    • This error helps prevent inconsistencies in inventory management by ensuring that stock movements are only done for materials with quantity stock.
