• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT306 - Target stock should be zero ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WT306 - "Target stock should be zero":
  
  SAP Error Message: WT306 - "Target stock should be zero"
  
  Cause:
  The error message WT306 typically occurs during the warehouse task creation or transfer order processing in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or Warehouse Management (WM) when the system expects the target stock quantity to be zero but finds a non-zero value.
  This usually happens in scenarios such as:
  
  When performing a stock removal or goods issue process, the system expects that the target stock (stock after the movement) should be zero because the stock is being completely removed from the source bin/storage location.
  When the warehouse task or transfer order is created with a target quantity that is not zero, but the business logic or configuration requires the target stock to be zero (e.g., full stock removal or stock clearing).
  Incorrect or inconsistent stock data or configuration in the warehouse management system.
  The system is trying to create a warehouse task for a stock movement where the target stock is expected to be zero (e.g., stock is being moved out of the warehouse or storage type that does not allow partial stock).
  
  
  When does this error occur?
  
  During warehouse task creation for stock removal or stock transfer.
  When the system checks the target stock quantity after the movement and finds it non-zero where zero is expected.
  In stock removal processes like picking, goods issue, or stock transfer to a non-stock storage type.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WT306 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Warehouse Task or Transfer Order:
  
  Verify the quantities in the warehouse task or transfer order.
  Ensure that the target stock quantity is set to zero if the process requires complete stock removal.
  
  
  
  Review the Movement Type and Process:
  
  Confirm that the movement type or warehouse process is correctly configured for the intended stock movement.
  For stock removal or goods issue, the target stock should be zero after the movement.
  
  
  
  Check Stock and Bin Data:
  
  Verify the stock quantities in the source and target bins/storage locations.
  Ensure that the stock is available and the quantities are consistent.
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Process or Configuration:
  
  If the business process requires partial stock removal or transfer, adjust the process or configuration to allow non-zero target stock.
  Review the storage type control and movement type settings in EWM or WM.
  
  
  
  Correct the Warehouse Task Creation Logic:
  
  If custom enhancements or user exits are involved in warehouse task creation, check the logic to ensure it correctly handles target stock quantities.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Warehouse Task:
  
  Sometimes, deleting and recreating the warehouse task or transfer order with correct quantities resolves the issue.

  Summary:
  
  Cause: The system expects the target stock quantity to be zero after the movement, but it is not.
  Solution: Ensure the warehouse task or transfer order reflects zero target stock where required, verify stock data, and adjust configuration or process logic accordingly.
