3535732 - Discrepancy in stock quantity when comparing MRP apps and Warehouse Monitor app

Symptom

The available quantity is wrong when comparing 'Monitor Material Coverage' app or 'Monitor Stock / Requirements List' (MD04) app with the 'Warehouse Monitor' app.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to 'Monitor Material Coverage' app 
  2. See the quantity
  3. Go to 'Warehouse Monitor' app
  4. Compare material quantity
  5. Quantity is different

Cause

MRP apps are designed to provide the most current stock and requirements situation.

Resolution

MRP apps are designed to provide the most current stock and requirements situation.

For example, if a material has safety stock defined in material master, the MRP apps will subtract this safety stock from the total quantity to give an accurate picture of the available stock.

And the 'Warehouse Monitor' app displays the stock quantity without considering the safety stock. This is a separate function and operates independently of the MRP apps.
