• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_CONS001 - Cons.: Returns item & &: Special stock partner not unique ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_CONS001 Cons.: Returns item & &: Special stock partner not unique
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of a returns delivery or returns order in SAP when the system detects that the special stock partner assigned to a returns item is not unique. In other words, there are multiple entries or partners assigned to the same special stock indicator for the same item, causing ambiguity.
  
  Special stock partner refers to a business partner associated with special stock types such as consignment stock, project stock, sales order stock, etc.
  The system expects a unique partner for each special stock type per item in the document.
  If multiple partners are assigned or the partner data is inconsistent, the system cannot determine which partner to use, triggering this error.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During creation or processing of returns deliveries (e.g., transaction VL01N, VL02N).
  When handling returns orders or inbound deliveries involving special stock.
  When the partner determination or assignment for special stock is ambiguous or duplicated.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Partner Assignments:
  
  Review the returns item in the document and verify the partners assigned to the special stock.
  Ensure that for each special stock type, only one unique partner is assigned.
  
  
  
  Correct the Partner Data:
  
  Remove duplicate or conflicting partner entries for the special stock.
  If multiple partners are required, adjust the document or process so that each special stock item is linked to a unique partner.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing:
  
  Check the partner determination procedure for special stock in the customizing (SPRO).
  Ensure that the partner functions and determination rules are correctly set up to avoid multiple partners being assigned to the same special stock.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify the customer/vendor master data and special stock assignments.
  Ensure that the special stock partner data is consistent and unique.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs:
  
  If the issue persists, use debugging or check application logs to identify where the duplicate partner assignment occurs.
