• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM457 - &: & phys. inventory ind. set for stock in quality insp. in previous per. ?

  The SAP error message MM457 indicates that there is an issue with the physical inventory indicator set for stock that is in quality inspection in a previous period. This typically occurs during the physical inventory process when the system detects that there are stock items that are in quality inspection and are not eligible for physical inventory counting due to their status or the period in which they are being counted.
  Cause:
  
  Quality Inspection Stock: The stock in question is in quality inspection, which means it is not available for sale or use until it has been cleared.
  Previous Period: The error specifically mentions that the stock is from a previous period, which may indicate that the physical inventory process is trying to count stock that has already been accounted for in a prior inventory period.
  Inventory Indicator: The physical inventory indicator for the stock may not be set correctly, or the system may not allow counting of stock in quality inspection for the specified period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stock Status: Review the stock status in the material master to confirm whether the stock is indeed in quality inspection. You can do this using transaction code MMBE to check the stock overview.
  Clear Quality Inspection Stock: If the stock is in quality inspection and is not needed, consider clearing it by either:
  
  Releasing the stock from quality inspection (if it passes inspection).
  Rejecting the stock (if it fails inspection).
  
  
  Adjust Physical Inventory Document: If you are trying to count stock from a previous period, ensure that the physical inventory document is correctly set up for the current period. You may need to create a new physical inventory document for the current period.
  Review Inventory Indicator Settings: Check the settings for the physical inventory indicator in the material master to ensure it is set correctly for the stock type you are trying to count.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance.
