• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM482 - &: & physical inventory ind. for unrestricted-use stock in previous per. ?

  The SAP error message MM482 indicates that there is an issue with the physical inventory indicator for unrestricted-use stock in a previous period. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform a physical inventory count or adjustment for stock that has already been closed in a previous period.
  Cause:
  
  Closed Period: The error usually arises when you try to perform a physical inventory count for a period that has already been closed in the system. SAP does not allow changes to inventory data in closed periods to maintain data integrity.
  Incorrect Inventory Indicator: The physical inventory indicator for the stock may not be set correctly, or there may be inconsistencies in the inventory records.
  Stock Type: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) may not be correctly defined for the physical inventory process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Period Status: Verify if the period you are trying to perform the physical inventory in is indeed closed. You can check this in the transaction code OB52 (for controlling periods) or MMPV (for material management periods).
  
  If the period is closed, you may need to open it temporarily to make the necessary adjustments, but this should be done with caution and in accordance with your organization's policies.
  
  
  
  Adjust Inventory Records: If the period is open, ensure that the physical inventory indicator is set correctly for the stock in question. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and checking the relevant views.
  Ensuring that the stock is correctly classified as unrestricted-use stock.
  
  
  
  Perform Inventory Count in Current Period: If you cannot change the previous period, consider performing the physical inventory count in the current period instead. This may involve adjusting the stock levels based on the count results.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to physical inventory processes.
