3307998 - How to Change Reference Product for an Identified Stock When Identified Stock is Unique Across System.

Symptom

In Business Configuration, question "Do you want to use unique identified stock numbers across the system?" has been scoped. Now there is an identified stock IStock_123 related to product ABC, how to change its reference product?

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to work center Business Configuration.
  2. Access view Implementation Projects.
  3. Select the inmpementation project, click Edit Project Scope.
  4. Proceed until step 4 Questions, expand Manufacturing, Warehousing, and Logistics > Tracking, Tracing, and Identification > Identified Stock,  question "Do you want to use unique identified stock numbers across the system?" has been scoped.
  5. Go to work center Warehousing and Logistics Master Data.
  6. Access view Identified Stock.
  7. Search IStock_123 (IStock_123 represents identified stock ID), click Edit, product is ABC (ABC represents product ID) which we cannot maintain.
  8. Now create new identified stock, enter IStock_123 for Identified Stock ID, error triggered "Identified stock ID IStock_123 already exists for the product ; enter new ID".

Cause

Since the BC setting has been enabled, another Identified Stock cannot be created with the same ID.

Nothing can be done in this case since the identified stock with the ID IStock_123 has already been created.

Resolution

This is system standard behavior.
