This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and physical inventory processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  Empty PI Document: The PI document may not have any items assigned to it. This can happen if the document was created without specifying any items or if the items were removed after the document was created.
  Incorrect Document Status: The status of the PI document may not allow for counting or changes. For example, if the document is already completed or closed, it will not allow further actions.
  Item Selection Criteria: The criteria used to select items for the PI document may not match any items in the warehouse. This could be due to filters applied during the document creation process.
