  The SAP error message MM480 indicates that there is a physical inventory indicator set for stock that is currently in quality inspection. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform a physical inventory count on stock that is not available for counting due to its status.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the stock in question is marked as being in quality inspection, which means it is not available for general use or inventory counting. The physical inventory process cannot include items that are not in a usable state.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  If accepted, the stock will be moved to unrestricted stock, making it available for physical inventory.
  
  
  
  Adjust Physical Inventory Document: If the stock must remain in quality inspection, you may need to exclude it from the physical inventory document. You can do this by adjusting the physical inventory document to ensure that only stock that is available for counting is included.
