Message FINS_ML_START013 "Material stock (company code xxxx) must be booked out in last two MM periods"

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

  • It's necessary to make sure the material stocks are booked out for both previous and current period.
  • Check the help portal link.
    "Please note, however, that you can only delete transaction data at company code level when no costs or revenues have been posted for the company code. Otherwise, you have to delete the data from all company codes."

Resolution

To book out the material stocks for last 2 MM periods, you can follow below suggestions:

  1. Use the app Material Inventory Value - Balance summary or Stock on Posting Date to find out which materials have the non-zero stock in the previous period. (You can check the current period by app Close Periods)
  2. Use app Post Goods Movement (MIGO) to book out the stocks. (Posting date should be set in previous period)
  3. Repeat above steps for current period, until you can't see any stock remaining in both current and previous period.
    Kindly be noticed that the stock should be cleared to 0 for each period, not the cumulative stock in both periods.
