SAP Note 22067 - Zero stock check w/many transfer orders for bin

Symptom:\

Key word: Zero stock check
If several transfer orders exist for one storage bin, the zero check is not activated for the transfer order that emptied the bin. The same applies for transfer orders with several items for the bin.

Cause and prerequisites

The system cannot activate the zero stock check when several transfer orders exist for the same storage bin, since there is no way to guarantee that the physical removals from the bin will take place in the same sequence that the transfer orders were created. Example: there are two transfer orders for a bin, and a newly created order empties the bin. The withdrawal with the 3rd order takes place before the 2nd, however. The picking routine would consider the bin to be "not empty" and would report it as so.

Solution
While the system does not activate the zero stock check, you can report the bin as empty by using the manual zero stock check.
