• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_CALC056 - Stock type &1 is not supported ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTI_CALC056 Stock type &1 is not supported
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during inventory or stock-related processes (such as stock calculation, stock transfer, or physical inventory) when the system encounters a stock type that is not recognized or supported in the current context. The placeholder &1 represents the stock type code that triggered the error.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The stock type is not defined or configured in the system for the particular movement or process.  
  The stock type is obsolete or incorrectly assigned to the material or stock.  
  The process or transaction does not support the specific stock type (e.g., special stock types like consignment, project stock, or quality inspection stock might not be supported in certain calculations or postings).  
  Customizing settings for stock types in Inventory Management (IM) or Warehouse Management (WM) are incomplete or inconsistent.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Stock Type:
  
  Check the stock type code in the error message (&1) and understand what it represents (e.g., unrestricted use, quality inspection, blocked stock, consignment, project stock, etc.).
  
  
  Check Configuration:  
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Inventory Management and Physical Inventory ? Stock Types and verify if the stock type is properly defined and supported for the transaction/process you are performing.  
  For Warehouse Management, check the WM stock type configuration as well.
  
  
  
  Review Process Compatibility:  
  
  Confirm that the transaction or process you are executing supports the stock type. For example, some stock types may not be supported in certain stock calculations or physical inventory processes.  
  If the process does not support the stock type, consider changing the stock type or using a different process.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master and Stock Assignments:  
  
  Verify the material master data to ensure the stock type is correctly assigned and valid.  
  Check if the stock is correctly classified in the system.
  
  
  
  Adjust or Correct Stock Type:  
  
  If the stock type is incorrect or obsolete, adjust the stock type for the stock in question using appropriate transactions (e.g., MB1B for stock transfer, or physical inventory adjustments).  
  If necessary, create or activate the stock type in customizing.
