• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS595 - Negative volume is not allowed. Check input data ?

  The SAP error message WS595: "Negative volume is not allowed. Check input data" typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) processes when the system detects a volume value that is negative, which is not permitted.
  
  Cause:
  
  The error arises because the system is trying to process a negative volume value for a material or handling unit, which is invalid.
  This can happen during goods movements, transfer postings, or when entering data related to storage bins, handling units, or packaging.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Incorrect master data setup where volume or dimensions are negative or zero.
  Manual input errors during goods receipt, goods issue, or transfer postings.
  Incorrect packaging specifications or handling unit data.
  Custom developments or user exits that calculate volume incorrectly.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Input Data:
  
  Verify the volume, dimensions, and quantity entered during the transaction.
  Ensure that no negative values are entered for volume or dimensions.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 and check the Basic Data and Warehouse Management views.
  Verify that the volume and dimensions (length, width, height) are correctly maintained and are positive values.
  
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Data:
  
  If handling units are involved, check the packaging specifications and handling unit types for correct volume data.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are user exits, BADIs, or custom programs involved in the process, check if any calculations result in negative volume.
  
  
  
  Correct the Data:
  
  Correct any negative or zero volume values in master data or during transaction input.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction:
  
  After correcting the data, re-execute the transaction.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to WM and volume calculation errors for any known issues or patches.
  
  
  
  Configuration:
  
  Volume and dimensions are maintained in material master under Basic Data 1 and Warehouse Management views.

  Summary:
