- Enter valid value for affecting stocks ?SAP Error Message:
WR162 - Enter valid value for affecting stocks
Cause:
This error occurs when a transaction or process in SAP requires a valid stock-affecting quantity or value, but the entered data is missing, zero, or invalid. Typically, it happens during goods movements, inventory postings, or material document entries where the system expects a quantity or value that impacts stock levels, but the input does not meet the required criteria.
Common scenarios include:
Check Quantity Fields:
Ensure that the quantity fields related to stock movement are filled with a valid, non-zero number.
Verify Unit of Measure:
Confirm that the unit of measure is correct and consistent with the material master data.
Review Movement Type:
Make sure the movement type used is appropriate and requires stock impact. Some movement types do not affect stock and may not require quantity input.
Material Master Data:
Check the material master for correct stock-related settings, such as base unit of measure and stock management indicators.
Transaction Data Entry:
When entering data in transactions like MIGO, MB1A, MB1B, MB1C, or others, ensure all mandatory fields related to stock quantity are properly filled.
Customizing Checks:
If this error occurs in a customized process or user exit, verify that the custom logic correctly handles stock quantities.
The WR162 error is triggered when the system expects a valid stock-affecting quantity but receives an invalid or missing value. Correcting the quantity input, verifying units of measure, and ensuring proper transaction usage will resolve the issue.
