#Incident:26

On the ECC it is possible to customize the system in a way that it is not allowed to create negative stock
in a plant.

This can be done on the following levels:

 Material level (Material Master Record --> view General Plant Data / Storage 2 --> General plant
parameters: Flag for "Negative stocks in plant")
 Storage location level (SPRO --> SAP Reference IMG --> Materials Management --> Inventory
Management and Physical Inventory --> Goods Issue / Transfer Postings --> Allow Negative
Stocks)
 Valuation area level (SPRO --> SAP Reference IMG --> Materials Management --> Inventory
Management and Physical Inventory --> Goods Issue / Transfer Postings --> Allow Negative
Stocks)

Negative Stock is allowed if the checkboxes are active. For unrestricted stock and blocked stock all three
checkboxes need to be active to allow negative stock. For special stock it is sufficient to activate the
storage location level and valuation area level checkboxes only.

MDS always shows only a warning when negative stock is created and leaves the ERP customizing
unnoticed.

Reason and Prerequisites

At the moment MDS does not know the customizing for negative stocks on the mobile client and always
allows to create negative stock with a warning message. The backend will execute the checks against the
customizing and will return an error if negative stocks are not allowed. This forces the user to do an
additional error handling on the mobile client.

Solution

Implement the following SAP Notes in your back-end system to enable the similar behavior and hinder
the creation of negative stock on MDS if not allowed in the customizing.

SAP Note 2251795 - MDS goods issue creating negative quantity - MMMATERIAL

SAP Note 2249685 - MDS goods issue creating negative quantity - HRSTLOC

SAP Note 2251796 - MDS goods issue creating negative quantity - CAT001W

Create the following parameter in the customizing (SPRO --> SAP Reference IMG --> Defense Forces &
Public Security --> Mobile Applications --> General Settings --> Specify Parameter Values):
COM.SAP.EA.DFPS.MM.CHECK_FOR_NEGATIVE_QUANTITY = X (Enable error message on MDS if
negative quantity is not allowed)
