• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM468 - &: & phys. inventory ind. set for stock in quality insp. in previous per. ?

  The SAP error message MM468 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 marked as being in quality inspection, which means it cannot be counted in the physical inventory.
  Previous Period: The error specifically mentions that the stock is from a previous period, which may indicate that the physical inventory process is being attempted on stock that has already been accounted for or is not in the current inventory period.
  Inventory Indicator: The physical inventory indicator for the stock may not be set correctly, or the stock may not be eligible for counting due to its status.
  
  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 MM03 to view the material details.
  Adjust Physical Inventory: If the stock is in quality inspection and should not be included in the physical inventory, you may need to adjust the physical inventory document to exclude this stock.
  Change Inventory Period: If you are trying to perform a physical inventory count for a previous period, ensure that the stock is eligible for counting in that period. You may need to adjust the inventory period or perform the count in the current period.
  Clear Quality Inspection Stock: If appropriate, you can clear the quality inspection stock by either accepting or rejecting the stock, which will move it out of the quality inspection status and make it eligible for physical inventory.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations or settings that may need to be adjusted.
