- Target stock must be greater than or equal to the reorder point ?Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
SAP Error Message:
WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS042
Text: Target stock must be greater than or equal to the reorder point
Cause:
This error occurs when you try to maintain or save the inventory parameters for an article (material) where the Target Stock (also called Maximum Stock Level or Maximum Inventory Level) is set to a value less than the Reorder Point (also called Minimum Stock Level or Safety Stock).
In inventory management, the reorder point is the stock level at which a new order should be triggered to replenish inventory before it runs out. The target stock is the desired maximum inventory level after replenishment. Logically, the target stock must be equal to or greater than the reorder point to ensure that when stock is replenished, it reaches a level above the reorder point.
Explanation:
If the target stock is less than the reorder point, the system cannot plan replenishment properly because replenishing to a level below the reorder point defeats the purpose of having a reorder point.
Check and Correct Inventory Parameters:
Save the changes after correction.
Parameter | Meaning | Valid Relationship |
---|---|---|
Reorder Point | Stock level to reorder | Target Stock = Reorder Point |
