• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/MM078 - Phys. inv. of stock in quality inspection not supported by MI10/MI08/MI09 ?

  The SAP error message /CWM/MM078 indicates that a physical inventory of stock in quality inspection is not supported by the transaction codes MI10, MI08, or MI09. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform a physical inventory count for materials that are currently in the quality inspection stock type.
  Cause:
  
  Stock Type Restriction: The system does not allow physical inventory counts for stock that is in the quality inspection status. This is a standard behavior in SAP to ensure that only stock that is available for use is counted.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may restrict physical inventory processes for certain stock types, including quality inspection stock.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change Stock Status: Before performing a physical inventory, you need to move the stock from quality inspection to unrestricted stock. This can be done using the transaction code QA11 (for usage decision) or MB1B (for stock transfer).
  
  Make a usage decision for the quality inspection stock to either accept or reject the stock.
  If accepted, the stock will move to unrestricted stock, and you can then perform the physical inventory.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Transactions: If you need to perform a physical inventory for quality inspection stock, consider using other methods or transactions that allow for this, such as:
  
  Adjusting the stock to unrestricted before counting.
  Using a different inventory management process that accommodates quality inspection stock.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the system should allow for physical inventory of quality inspection stock, check the configuration settings in the Inventory Management module to see if there are any restrictions that can be modified.
