Error M7 146 : Special Stock E not supported

[Former Member]

Hello Everybody,

We have the following situation and would request your suggestions:-

In VL01N, we are trying to do a PGR via Returns Delivery (Delivery Type LR) for a Make-To-Order product. The system gives the error M7 146 "Special Stock E not supported (check your entry)".

Cause: In the background, it is trying to do a Movement Type 651 and is expecting an "E" for special stock. However, in T/Code OMJJ, the Movement Type 651 does not have the entry for Special Stock "E".

Question:

Would the introduction of the value "E" for 651 for MTO have any impact on MTS products because MTS products also use 651 for MTS, althought they use it WITHOUT the "E". Yet, it might not be advisable to risk changing standard SAP Movement Types after going live. Hence, this question to you all. Your advise and experiences would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Srinivas

Hello Ankur,

This is a Return without reference. However, these materials had originally gone via Movement Type 601 "E".

Thanks,

Can you explain the process that you are doing , why you are doing returns with out reference ?

Normally returns order will be created with ref to Billing ...

Hello Ramesh,

Normally, for returns where a Credit is to be provided for the product (without any replacement), we

give Credit to those Customers who directly purchase from us (with ref to a Billing document).

In some situations we are unable to do a Returns with reference to a Billing document because:

This product was sold from us to a dealer / agency in-between. The dealer sells the product to an end-customer. The product came back to the plant for rectifications from the end-customer, like a minor Repair.

We have not implemented Service Management.

Thanks,

Hello All,

This issue has not been resolved. Could someone help ? In simple terms:-

We have an MTO product that was sold with SAP Special Stock Indicator "E" + Material Master Strategy 20 that is now coming back to the company for repairs.

To receive the product, we create a Returns Order and try to do a Returns Delivery and PGR.

However, while trying to create a Returns Delivery, the system says "Only 0 EA of material xxxx available. An item with no delivery quantity is not permitted. Item will be deleted".

Question: Why is the system expecting Stock to exist for Returns ?

NOTE:

1) The issue is NOT with the Delivery Item Category field "Check Quantity 0". It should have value "B".

2) The Item Cat & Sch Line Cat for Returns are NOT relevant for Availability nor for Transfer of Requirements.

3) The Item Cat is NOT relevant for the Special Stock Indicator because it is the same for MTO products and MTS products.

Thanks,

Srinivas
