  SAP Error Message: WT712
  Text: Error when calculating the goods receipt after next
  
  Cause:
  The error WT712 typically occurs during the post goods receipt (GR) process in Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) when the system tries to calculate or determine the next goods receipt quantity or movement but encounters inconsistent or missing data.
  Common causes include:
  
  Inconsistent or missing data in transfer orders or delivery documents: The system cannot determine the next quantity to be posted because the data is incomplete or corrupted.
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration of movement types or goods receipt processes: For example, the movement type used does not allow the expected goods receipt or is not properly linked to WM processes.
  Stock inconsistencies: The stock situation in WM or IM does not match the expected quantities, causing the system to fail in calculating the next goods receipt.
  Batch or serial number issues: If batch management or serial number management is active, missing or incorrect batch/serial data can cause calculation errors.
  Custom enhancements or user exits: Custom code interfering with standard goods receipt calculations.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WT712 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Transfer Order and Delivery Document:
  
  Verify that the transfer order (TO) or delivery document related to the goods receipt is complete and consistent.
  Ensure that quantities, movement types, and item statuses are correct.
  
  
  
  Review Movement Types and Configuration:
  
  Confirm that the movement type used for the goods receipt is correctly configured in SPRO under Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Goods Movement ? Define Movement Types.
  Check if the movement type is allowed for the warehouse number and linked correctly to WM processes.
  
  
  
  Stock Consistency Check:
  
  Run stock consistency reports or transactions such as LX02 (Display Warehouse Stocks on Hand) or MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand) to verify stock levels.
  If inconsistencies are found, consider running stock reconciliation or physical inventory.
  
  
  
  Batch/Serial Number Verification:
  
  If batch or serial number management is active, ensure that the batch/serial numbers are correctly maintained and assigned.
  Check for missing or incorrect batch data in the delivery or transfer order.
  
  
  
  Debugging and Logs:
  
  Use transaction ST22 to check for dumps related to the error.
  Use transaction SM13 to check for update errors.
  Debug the goods receipt process to identify where the calculation fails.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  Review any user exits, BADIs, or enhancements related to goods receipt or warehouse management that might affect the calculation.
  Temporarily disable or adjust custom code to test if the error persists.
