Hi,

When trying to Goods Issue an STO Outbound Delivery whch is an internal stock branch transfer within the same company code from one Plant to another Plant using transaction VL02N or VL06G we are receiving the folowing error:

Value of the goods movement is negative:

Message no. M7301

Diagnosis

The goods movement value is negative.

Possible causes for this:

  • A subcontracting order contains negative components ( by-products).
    The value of these by-products is sufficiently high that the goods receipt value
    value of the material ordered is negative.

  • The delivery costs (such as rebate) for a purchase order are
    negative:
    Goods value:
    Delivery costs:

    Total value:

System Response

The system cannot post the goods movement.

Procedure

  • In the case of a subcontracting order:

    • Reduce the quantity of the negative components until the goods receipt value is positive Then enter a subsequent adjustment for the remaining by-products using transaction MB04
  • In the case of negative delivery costs:

    • Stop processing the item and change the delivery costs in the purchase order."

It is NOT a subcontracting order.

There are no negative delivery costs in the Purchase Order.

Please advise any help?

Regards

Luke

Just curious about your ZREC condition. which plant valuation is meant here, the shipping plant or the receiving plant. If it is the shipping plant, then how can it be zero, this means the goods are not valuated. If you reduce a value from 0 then it turns negative.

Hi,

Please check table EKBZ and see if delivery cost amount exceeds amount in LC for any line item.

kindly check if you have invoice posted with incorrect qty or incorrect value. It happens invoice is posted with wrong qty due to incorrect value in decimals being input by the user.

Its seems to conversion from EA to TN or TN to EA leading the negative delivery costs..I am not sure other then what possible reasons can be. Check quantity conversion and check if it is not leading to cause negative entry during goods issue.

You can take help from abaper to debug and check which item and condition leading to this issue.

Also this may also occur due currency difference, please check following notes that help you possible causes behind the error

1161560 - MIGO - Error M7 301


907632 - STO : Incorrect amount in delivery costs


Also verify what the screen shot you provide the UoM for Freight condition TN whereas for P101 in EA.. This may the main reason you getting this error.. Mention your freight amount in terms of EA.. Then you will able to resolve it.

Thanks again Jagdeep,

The PO History so far only displays the Outbound Delivery for each item.

A shipment exists but there are no Shipment Costs relevant for the Shipment Type we are using.

We are only using one currency.

The freight company charges our company per TN. Not per EA. This has not been the cause of any issues for us before.

Posting a copy of the entire long text of the error message is pretty useless, the number and the text are sufficient. You should have posted the evidence that made you think that this message is incorrect.

What quantity do you move?

What price control, valuation price and current stock value do you have in your material master accounting view?

Thanks Jurgen L.

I was posting the whole message to give some context:

  • it is not a subcontracting order
  • there was no -tve delivery costs

So in answer to your questions:

There are 21 items in the delivery, all of various quantities.

Price Control for all items are the same - "V - Moving Average Price/periodic unit price"

Valuation Price & Total Value varies according to each item. All are in the positive.

There is a -ve condition in the STO for SLOB Stock (Slow moving & Obsolete stock) but it brings the price back to 0 not a -ve, Below is an example of one item. Not all items have the SLOB condition:

The STO header price nets to 0:

Thanks and regards
