This error typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation (like posting counts or adjustments) on items that are associated with different physical inventory documents.

  Solution:
  
  Check Document Association: Verify that all items you are trying to process belong to the same physical inventory document. You can do this by checking the document numbers associated with each item.
  Separate Requests: If you have items from different physical inventory documents, separate your requests so that each request only includes items from a single document.
  Review OData Payload: If you are using an OData API, ensure that the payload you are sending only includes items from the same physical inventory document. Adjust your API call accordingly.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are performing this operation through the SAP GUI, use transaction codes like MI01 (Create Physical Inventory Document) or MI04 (Enter Inventory Count) to ensure you are working within the correct document context.
