The SAP error message C2015 indicates that the material is not available in the required quantity for a specific order. This error typically arises during the process of order processing, such as when creating a sales order, production order, or purchase order. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
Cause:
- Stock Shortage: The most common reason for this error is that the available stock of the material is less than the quantity required for the order.
- Reservation Issues: If there are existing reservations for the material that consume the available stock, it may lead to insufficient quantity for the new order.
- Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not be set up correctly, leading to issues with availability checks.
- Lead Time and Planning Issues: If the material is subject to lead times or if the planning parameters are not set correctly, it may not be available when needed.
- Batch Management: If the material is batch-managed, there may be restrictions on which batches can be used for the order.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
