• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT305 - The minimum target stock is not maintained ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WT305: The minimum target stock is not maintained:
  
  Error Message
  WT305: The minimum target stock is not maintained
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management when the system tries to perform a warehouse task or create a transfer order, but the minimum target stock (also called minimum stock level or minimum inventory level) for a storage bin or storage type is not maintained or defined.
  In other words, the system expects a minimum stock level to be set for a particular storage bin or storage type to ensure that stock replenishment or putaway strategies can be executed properly. If this minimum target stock is missing, the system cannot determine how much stock should be maintained, leading to this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During warehouse task creation or transfer order creation.
  When using replenishment strategies that depend on minimum stock levels.
  When the system tries to check or maintain stock levels for bins/storage types but finds no minimum stock defined.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Maintain Minimum Target Stock:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction to maintain minimum stock levels.
  For storage bins, use transaction LS02 (Change Storage Bin) or LS01 (Create Storage Bin).
  In the storage bin master data, maintain the Minimum Stock field.
  Alternatively, for storage types or warehouse numbers, check the replenishment parameters in SPRO under Warehouse Management settings.
  
  
  
  Check Replenishment Strategies:
  
  Verify the replenishment strategy configured for the storage type or warehouse.
  Ensure that minimum stock levels are defined as required by the strategy.
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Customizing:
  
  Use transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Strategies ? Define Replenishment Strategies.
  Check if the minimum stock is a mandatory parameter for the strategy in use.
  
  
  
  Stock Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the stock data in the system is consistent and that no data corruption or missing master data exists.
