  SAP Error Message: WT254
  Message Text:
  
  Planned receipts/issues are to be considered
  
  Cause:
  The message WT254 typically appears in the context of warehouse management (WM) or material requirements planning (MRP) processes. It indicates that there are planned receipts or planned issues for the material in question that need to be taken into account before proceeding.
  More specifically:
  
  The system has detected that there are planned receipts (such as purchase orders, production orders, or planned orders) or planned issues (such as planned withdrawals or reservations) for the material.
  These planned movements affect the stock situation and should be considered in the current transaction or planning run.
  The message serves as a warning or information that the stock situation is not just based on current physical stock but also on planned movements.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During stock transfer postings or goods movements in WM or MM.
  During MRP runs when the system evaluates stock and planned receipts/issues.
  When creating or confirming transfer orders or transfer requirements.
  When checking stock availability for a material that has planned receipts/issues.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Planned Receipts/Issues:
  
  Check the planned receipts and issues for the material in the relevant plant/storage location.
  Use transaction codes like:
  
  MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to view planned orders, purchase orders, reservations, etc.
  LT22 (Display Transfer Order) or LT23 to check warehouse transfer orders.
  MB52 or MMBE to check stock overview including stock in transit or planned stock.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consider Planned Movements:
  
  If the planned receipts/issues are valid and should be considered, proceed with the transaction acknowledging that these planned movements affect stock.
  If the planned receipts/issues are incorrect or obsolete, investigate and correct them (e.g., delete or adjust planned orders, cancel reservations).
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning or Posting:
  
  If the message appears during posting, ensure that the planned receipts/issues are properly reflected in the stock.
  If necessary, adjust the quantities or timing of planned orders or reservations.

  Ensure that all planned movements are up to date and correctly reflected in the system.
