3552865 - Limitation of EWM Stock Types in the S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition system

Problem arises when trying to create stock type FA and beyond, with the system returning a message stating "Stock type & not defined." Message no. /SCWM/MD29

Is it possible to extend the values of stock types to have more than 10 values for each category?

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The system limitation in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that does not allow the extension of stock type values beyond the predefined limit.

1. Acknowledge the system limitation that does not allow the extension of stock type values beyond the predefined limit of up to 10 stock types.
2. Consider consolidating stock types or reevaluating warehouse structure to reduce the number of stock types needed.
3. Explore the possibility of using other attributes or classifications to differentiate between different types of stock in the warehouse.
4. Create a feature request to SAP (##2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Product) to gain visibility and possibly speed up the release of this functionality in future product versions.

Refer to the document: Set-Up Instructions for Implementing Warehouse Management Scope Items.

"Note that the system allows you to create up to 10 stock types for each location-independent stock type – unrestricted use, quality inspection, or blocked stock. This allows you to manage up to 11 storage locations of the same plant in your warehouse."
