• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_CONS014 - Select a movement type using input help ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_CONS014 – Select a movement type using input help
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to post or process a goods movement or a related transaction in SAP, but the system requires you to specify a movement type and it has not been entered or the entered movement type is invalid. The movement type is a key field that determines the type of inventory movement (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue, transfer posting).
  The message prompts you to select a valid movement type using the input help (F4 help) because the system cannot proceed without a correct movement type.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Movement types in SAP control the stock posting and update the inventory accordingly.
  If the movement type is missing or incorrect, SAP cannot determine how to process the transaction.
  The system expects you to choose from a list of valid movement types relevant to the transaction context.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use Input Help (F4):
  
  When the error appears, place the cursor in the movement type field and press F4 to open the input help. Select the appropriate movement type from the list.
  
  
  Check the Movement Type:  
  
  Ensure the movement type you enter is valid for the transaction you are performing.
  For example, for goods receipt, typical movement types are 101, 103; for goods issue, 201, 261, etc.
  
  
  
  Verify Customizing Settings:
  
  If no movement types appear in the input help or the correct movement type is not available:
  
  Check the configuration in SPRO ? Materials Management ? Inventory Management ? Movement Types.
  Ensure the movement types are defined and assigned correctly for your plant and transaction.
  
  
  
  Check User Input:  
  
  Make sure the movement type field is not left blank.
  Avoid entering invalid or incorrect movement types manually.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:  
  
  Sometimes, the user may not have authorization to use certain movement types.
  Verify user roles and authorizations related to movement types (authorization object M_MSEG_BWE).
