Summary :
In SAP MM01 and MM02 transactions, changing the base unit of measure, batch management requirement, or valuation category in a material master record triggers a system message indicating the presence of existing stocks, despite their absence in the stock overview. This error occurs because the system checks for stocks from both the current and previous periods, considering previous period postings can impact the data. To resolve, users should verify previous period stocks via plant or storage location views and align these with current period stocks before attempting changes. Adjustments include making equivalent postings and subsequent withdrawals for consistency across periods.
Key words :
batch management requirement indicator, storage location stock view, checking previous period stocks, extras -> previous period -> prev, previous period stocks exist, plant stock view, material master record, entering goods movements, changed master data, pd plant stock
