    SAP Error Message WR074

    Message Text:
    Material & has no stock of valuation type &2 in valuation area &1


    Cause

    This error occurs during a goods movement or inventory-related transaction (such as goods issue, transfer posting, or reservation) when the system tries to post stock for a material in a specific valuation area (usually a plant) and valuation type (stock type), but no stock exists for that combination.

    • Valuation Area (&1): Typically the plant or company code level where valuation is maintained.
    • Valuation Type (&2): The stock type or special stock indicator (e.g., unrestricted use, quality inspection, blocked stock, consignment stock, project stock, etc.).
    • Material (&): The material number involved.

    The system expects to find stock of the specified valuation type in the valuation area but finds none, so it cannot complete the transaction.


    Common Scenarios Leading to WR074

    • Attempting to issue or transfer stock from a valuation type where stock quantity is zero.
    • Trying to consume stock from a special stock type (e.g., quality inspection or blocked stock) that currently has no stock.
    • Incorrect or missing stock in the system due to previous posting errors or data inconsistencies.
    • Using a movement type or transaction that requires stock in a specific valuation type, but that stock is not available.

    Solution

    1. Check Stock Overview:

      • Use transaction MMBE (Stock Overview) to check the stock quantities of the material in the specified valuation area and valuation type.
      • Confirm if stock exists in the valuation type mentioned in the error.
    2. Adjust Stock or Change Movement:

      • If no stock exists in the valuation type, either:
        • Post stock to that valuation type first (e.g., via a goods receipt or transfer posting).
        • Or change the transaction/movement to use a valuation type where stock is available.
    3. Review Movement Type and Special Stock Indicators:

      • Verify if the movement type used requires stock in a particular valuation type.
      • For example, movement types for quality inspection stock require stock in that stock type.
      • Adjust the movement type or stock type accordingly.
    4. Stock Reconciliation:

      • If stock inconsistencies are suspected, perform stock reconciliation or physical inventory.
      • Use transaction MI01/MI04/MI07 to post inventory differences if needed.
    5. Check Customizing:

      • Verify valuation grouping and stock determination settings in OMWB or related IMG activities.
      • Ensure that valuation types and stock types are correctly configured.

      • Using an incorrect movement type can cause this error.

      • Unrestricted use (valuation type usually blank or 01)
      • Quality inspection (valuation type 02)
