• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT133 - The checking group does not allow any availability checks ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WT133 - The checking group does not allow any availability checks
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a material's availability check is triggered during a sales order or delivery process, but the checking group assigned to the material master or sales document does not permit any availability check. Essentially, the system tries to perform an availability check, but the configuration of the checking group explicitly disallows it.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Checking Group is a key configuration in SAP that controls how availability checks are performed for a material.
  It is assigned in the Material Master (Sales: Sales Org. 2 view) or in the Sales Document Type.
  If the checking group is set to a value that means "no availability check" (e.g., 000 or a group configured without any availability check indicator), but the system still tries to perform an availability check (due to other settings or user action), this error is triggered.
  
  
  How to Identify:
  
  Check the Checking Group assigned to the material in the material master (transaction MM03) under Sales: Sales Org. 2 view.
  Check the Checking Group in the sales document type (transaction VOV8).
  Check the configuration of the checking group in SPRO under:
  Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements -> Availability Check -> Define Checking Groups
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust the Checking Group:
  
  Assign a checking group that allows availability checks to the material master or sales document type.
  For example, use a checking group like "01" or "02" which are configured to perform availability checks.
  
  
  
  Change the configuration of the Checking Group:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements ? Availability Check ? Define Checking Groups.
  Select the checking group and ensure that the "Availability check" indicator is set correctly (e.g., "01" for standard availability check).
  Save and transport the changes if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check the Sales Document Type:
  
  Sometimes the sales document type may override or influence the availability check.
  Use transaction VOV8 to check the sales document type settings and ensure it is consistent with the checking group settings.
  
  
  
  Material Master Consistency:
  
  If the material is not supposed to have availability checks, ensure that no process or user action is triggering availability checks for it.
  If availability checks are required, assign the correct checking group.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  Availability checks are important for confirming stock and delivery dates.
  The checking group controls the type of availability check (e.g., ATP check, backorder processing).
  If you want to disable availability checks for certain materials, assign a checking group that explicitly disables it, but ensure that no process tries to perform availability checks on those materials.
  This error often appears during sales order creation or delivery processing.
