• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM423 - &: & physical inventory indicator set for blocked stock ?

  The SAP error message MM423 indicates that a physical inventory indicator has been set for blocked stock. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform a physical inventory count on stock that is marked as blocked, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system does not permit physical inventory counts on blocked stock. Blocked stock is inventory that is not available for use or sale, and therefore, it cannot be included in physical inventory counts.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Stock Status: Verify the status of the stock you are trying to count. If it is indeed blocked, you will need to either:
  
  Unblock the stock if it is appropriate to do so.
  Exclude the blocked stock from the physical inventory count.
  
  
  
  Adjust Physical Inventory Document: If you have already created a physical inventory document that includes blocked stock, you will need to adjust this document to remove the blocked stock items.
  
  
  Change Inventory Indicator: If you need to perform a physical inventory on the stock, consider changing the inventory indicator for the stock in question, if applicable.
  
  
  Consult with Inventory Management: If you are unsure about the implications of unblocking stock or changing inventory indicators, consult with your inventory management team or SAP support for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Blocked Stock: This refers to inventory that is not available for sale or use due to various reasons, such as quality issues, pending inspection, or other restrictions.
  Physical Inventory Process: This involves counting the physical stock on hand and reconciling it with the stock records in the system. It is important to ensure that only available stock is counted.

  MI01: Create Physical Inventory Document
  MI02: Change Physical Inventory Document
  MI03: Display Physical Inventory Document
  MB1A: Goods Withdrawal
