• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT304 - The target stock must be between the minimum and maximum target stock ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WT304 - The target stock must be between the minimum and maximum target stock
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during warehouse management or inventory planning processes when the system tries to set or update the target stock (also called the reorder point or safety stock level) for a storage bin, storage type, or material, but the value entered or calculated is outside the allowed range defined by the minimum and maximum target stock limits.
  In other words, the target stock value you are trying to maintain or assign is either less than the minimum target stock or greater than the maximum target stock defined in the system for that particular storage bin or material.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During bin stocking or replenishment setup in Warehouse Management (WM).
  When maintaining or changing storage bin master data or storage type parameters.
  During automatic replenishment or planning runs where the system calculates target stock levels.
  When using transaction codes related to bin stock or replenishment like LS01N, LS02N, LX02, or during WM customizing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Minimum and Maximum Target Stock Values:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing or master data screen where the minimum and maximum target stock values are maintained.
  For storage bins, check the bin master data (transaction LS02N).
  For storage types, check the WM customizing under Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Master Data ? Define Storage Types.
  For materials, check the material master or replenishment parameters.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Target Stock Value:
  
  Ensure that the target stock you want to set or that the system calculates is within the range defined by the minimum and maximum target stock.
  If the target stock is outside this range, either:
  
  Increase the minimum target stock if the target stock is too low.
  Increase the maximum target stock if the target stock is too high.
  Or adjust the target stock to fit within the existing min/max limits.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Replenishment Parameters:
  
  If the error occurs during replenishment or planning, review the replenishment parameters and safety stock settings.
  Adjust the parameters so that the calculated target stock falls within the allowed range.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing for Target Stock Limits:
  
  In some cases, the min/max target stock limits are set in customizing for storage types or warehouse numbers.
  Adjust these limits if business requirements have changed.

  Transaction Codes:
  
  LS02N - Change Storage Bin (to check/change min/max target stock)
  LX02 - Display Inventory Differences (may show stock levels)
  SPRO - Customizing for Warehouse Management (to check storage type parameters)
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to WM replenishment and target stock errors.
  Refer to SAP Help Portal for Warehouse Management replenishment and bin stocking concepts.
  
  
  
  Business Impact:
  
  This error prevents incorrect or illogical stock levels from being set, ensuring warehouse stock levels remain within operationally feasible limits.
  Ignoring this error can lead to stock imbalances, stockouts, or overstocking.
