• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR123 - Select either materials with negative stock or with zero stock ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WR123 - Select either materials with negative stock or with zero stock
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically appears in SAP when you are running a report or transaction that requires you to specify a selection criterion related to stock levels, but you have either not selected any option or have selected conflicting options.
  Specifically, the message indicates that you must choose either materials with negative stock or materials with zero stock — not both or neither. The system expects a clear selection to filter the materials based on their stock status.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When running inventory or stock reports (e.g., stock overview, stock analysis, or material evaluation reports).
  When using selection screens that filter materials by stock quantity conditions.
  When the selection screen has radio buttons or checkboxes for "Negative stock" and "Zero stock" and the user input is invalid or ambiguous.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  On the selection screen, select only one option:
  
  Either choose materials with negative stock
  
  OR  
  Choose materials with zero stock.
  
  
  Do not leave both options unchecked or select both simultaneously if the selection screen logic does not allow it.
  Review the selection criteria and ensure that the input matches the expected parameters.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Negative stock means the stock quantity is less than zero, which can happen due to timing differences in goods movements or errors in inventory management.
  Zero stock means the material currently has no stock available.
  This message helps to avoid ambiguous or conflicting report outputs.
  If you need to see both negative and zero stock materials, check if the report or transaction allows multiple selections or if you need to run separate reports.
  
  
  Example:
  If you are running a stock report and the selection screen has:
  
  [ ] Materials with negative stock  
  [ ] Materials with zero stock
  
  You must check only one box before executing the report.
