• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR064 - Quantity is larger than total stock ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WR064 - Quantity is larger than total stock
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to post a goods movement (such as a goods issue, transfer posting, or reservation) with a quantity that exceeds the available stock in the system for the specified material and storage location.
  In other words, the system checks the current stock level and finds that the quantity you are trying to move or issue is greater than what is physically or logically available.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Attempting to issue more goods than are available in inventory.
  Creating a reservation or delivery with a quantity exceeding stock.
  Posting a transfer or goods movement where stock is insufficient.
  Stock inconsistencies due to previous incorrect postings or delays in stock updates.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Stock Levels:
  
  Use transaction MMBE (Stock Overview) to verify the current stock for the material in the relevant plant/storage location.
  Confirm if the stock is indeed insufficient.
  
  
  
  Adjust Quantity:
  
  Reduce the quantity in the goods movement or reservation to match the available stock.
  
  
  
  Investigate Stock Discrepancies:
  
  If stock should be available but is not reflected correctly, check for:
  
  Unposted or blocked stock.
  Stock in quality inspection or blocked stock.
  Stock differences due to previous incorrect postings.
  
  
  Use transactions like MB51 (Material Document List) or MB5T (Stock in transit) to analyze stock movements.
  
  
  
  Stock Reconciliation:
  
  Perform a physical inventory count and post differences if necessary.
  Use transaction MI01/MI04/MI07 for physical inventory processing.
  
  
  
  Check for Open Reservations or Deliveries:
  
  Sometimes stock is reserved for other orders or deliveries, reducing available stock.
  Use MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to check reservations and requirements.
  
  
  
  System Settings:
  
  Verify if the system allows negative stock for the material (check material master in MM02 under MRP 2 view).
  If negative stock is allowed, this error should not occur; if not, you must ensure stock is sufficient.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Message Class: WR (Warehouse Management)

  If you are using batch management, check batch stock availability.
  For serial number managed materials, ensure serial numbers are available.
