  Error Message
  WRMA125: Allow negative stock for plant &1
  
  Cause
  This message occurs when a transaction or process attempts to post a goods movement or inventory change that would result in negative stock in a plant where negative stock is not allowed.
  In SAP, the system can be configured to either allow or disallow negative stock at the plant level. If negative stock is not allowed and a goods movement tries to reduce stock below zero, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation
  
  Negative stock means the stock quantity in the system goes below zero.
  Some plants or storage locations are configured to disallow negative stock to ensure strict inventory control.
  When a goods issue, transfer posting, or any inventory movement tries to reduce stock below zero in such a plant, SAP prevents the posting and issues this error.
  
  
  How to Check / Verify
  
  
  Check plant settings for negative stock:
  
  Transaction: OMJ1 (Define Plant Parameters)
  Select the plant and check the field "Allow negative stock".
  
  
  
  Check storage location settings:
  
  Sometimes negative stock is controlled at the storage location level.
  Transaction: OMIR (Define Storage Location Parameters)
  Verify if negative stock is allowed or not.
  
  
  
  Check current stock levels:
  
  Transaction: MMBE (Stock Overview)
  Verify the current stock quantity for the material in the plant/storage location.
  
  
  
  
  Solution / Resolution
  
  
  Allow negative stock (if business process permits):
  
  Change the plant parameters to allow negative stock.
  Path: SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Inventory Management ? Settings for Inventory Management and Physical Inventory ? Define Plant Parameters (OMJ1)
  Set Allow negative stock to Yes for the plant.
  Note: This should be done only if the business process allows negative stock and the inventory control policies permit it.
  
  
  
  Adjust stock levels:
  
  If negative stock is not allowed, ensure that stock is available before posting the goods movement.
  Perform a goods receipt or stock adjustment to increase stock before posting the goods issue or transfer.
  
  
  
  Check and correct postings:
  
  Review the transaction causing the error.
  Ensure the quantity being posted does not exceed the available stock.
  
  
  
  Use special stock or unrestricted stock:
  
  Sometimes, stock is blocked or in quality inspection.
  Check if stock is available in unrestricted-use stock.

  Summary
  
  
  
  Aspect

  Check
  Plant parameters (OMJ1), stock overview (MMBE), storage location settings (OMIR).
