• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /LIME/CORE015 - There is stock blocked by physical inventory for location/HU/stock item ?

  The SAP error message /LIME/CORE015 indicates that there is stock that is blocked due to a physical inventory process for a specific location, handling unit (HU), or stock item. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation (like a goods movement, transfer, or deletion) on stock that is currently being counted or is otherwise locked due to an ongoing physical inventory process.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Physical Inventory: The stock in question is part of a physical inventory process that has not yet been completed. This means that the stock is locked to prevent changes while the inventory is being counted.
  Blocked Stock: The stock may be marked as blocked due to various reasons, including discrepancies found during the inventory process.
  Location or Handling Unit Specific: The error may be specific to a certain location or handling unit, indicating that the stock in that area is under inventory control.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Complete the Physical Inventory: If you have the necessary permissions, complete the physical inventory process for the affected stock. This involves:
  
  Finalizing the inventory counts.
  Posting the results to update the stock status.
  Clearing any discrepancies that may have been identified.
  
  
  
  Check Inventory Documents: Review the inventory documents to see if there are any open or incomplete inventory counts that need to be addressed.
  
  
  Release the Block: If the physical inventory is complete but the stock is still blocked, you may need to manually release the block. This can typically be done through transaction codes like MI07 (for posting inventory differences) or MI04 (for entering inventory counts).
  
  
  Consult with Inventory Management: If you are unsure about how to proceed or if you do not have the necessary permissions, consult with your inventory management team or SAP support team for assistance.
  
  
  Check for Other Transactions: Ensure that no other transactions are currently being processed that might be locking the stock. This includes checking for any open transfer orders or other inventory-related transactions.
