  Message Text:
  Value-only material &1 is being physically inventoried in plant &2
  
  Cause
  
  Value-only materials are materials that are managed only in the accounting (FI) module and do not have a physical stock in inventory management (MM-IM).  
  These materials are typically used for valuated consumption or services, and they do not have a physical quantity tracked in the warehouse.  
  When you try to perform a physical inventory document or post a physical inventory count for such a material, SAP issues this warning because it does not make sense to physically count a material that exists only in value (accounting) but not physically.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  The system detects that the material you are trying to include in the physical inventory is flagged as a value-only material in the specified plant.
  Since these materials do not have a physical stock, they should not be included
