• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM459 - &: & physical inventory ind. set for stock in quality insp. in foll. year ?

  The SAP error message MM459 indicates that there is an issue with the physical inventory indicator set for stock that is in quality inspection for the following year. This error typically arises during the physical inventory process when the system detects that the stock in question is not eligible for physical inventory due to its status.
  Cause:
  
  Quality Inspection Stock: The stock is currently in quality inspection, which means it cannot be counted in the physical inventory process until it is either released or rejected.
  Inventory Year: The error specifically mentions that the stock is set for the following year, which may indicate that the physical inventory process is being attempted for a period that is not valid for the current stock status.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the inventory management or quality management modules that are not aligned with the physical inventory process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Release or Reject Quality Inspection Stock: If the stock is in quality inspection, you need to either release it (if it meets quality standards) or reject it (if it does not). Once the stock is no longer in quality inspection, it can be included in the physical inventory.
  Check Physical Inventory Settings: Review the settings for physical inventory in the configuration to ensure that they are correctly set up to allow for counting of stock in quality inspection, if that is the desired behavior.
  Adjust Inventory Year: Ensure that the physical inventory process is being executed for the correct inventory year. If you are trying to perform a physical inventory for the following year, verify that this is allowed based on your company's policies and system settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling physical inventory with quality inspection stock.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as MI01 (Create Physical Inventory Document), MI02 (Change Physical Inventory Document), or MI03 (Display Physical Inventory Document) to manage physical inventory documents.
  Quality Management Integration: Understand how quality management processes integrate with inventory management, as this can affect how stock is treated during physical inventory.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling quality inspection stock during physical inventory.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in inventory management and quality management processes.
