Symptom
- The ability to deliver project stock ('Q' stock) directly from a sales order is required, but the item category configuration lacks an option to assign special stock settings.
- Users seek guidance on enabling this functionality.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the 'Maintain Item Categories' configuration in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
- Attempt to assign special stock settings for project stock ('Q' stock).
- Observe that there is no option available to configure special stock settings.
Cause
- In Public Cloud sales from project stock (Q) are only supported within the scope of Best Practice Scope Item 6GD – Engineer-to-Order with Project Stock.
- If this scope item is not active, the system does not recognize Q stock as available for delivery during standard sales order processing.
Resolution
To enable delivery from Q stock in a sales order:
- Activate Scope Item 6GD – This enables project stock integration with sales processes.
- Set the material’s strategy group to E2 in the MRP3 view (Engineer-to-Order).
- Ensure the WBS element is assigned to the sales order item (via account assignment).
- Create the sales order after the material master is updated, so the correct requirement class is used.
