  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH062 - Document contains items for physical inventory and revaluation ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WH062 - Document contains items for physical inventory and revaluation:


    SAP Error Message: WH062

    Text: Document contains items for physical inventory and revaluation


    Cause

    This error occurs when you try to post or process a material document that contains both:

    • Physical inventory items (i.e., items that are part of a physical inventory count or adjustment), and
    • Revaluation items (i.e., items that are being revalued, for example, due to price changes or inventory revaluation).

    SAP does not allow a single document to contain both types of items simultaneously because the business processes and accounting treatments for physical inventory adjustments and revaluation are different and must be handled separately.


    Explanation

    • Physical Inventory Items: These are materials counted during a physical inventory process, and adjustments are made to align book inventory with actual stock.
    • Revaluation Items: These are materials whose value is adjusted due to price changes, exchange rate differences, or other valuation reasons.

    Mixing these in one document can cause inconsistencies in inventory valuation and accounting.


    Solution

    To resolve the error:

    1. Separate the documents:

      • Post physical inventory adjustments in one document.
      • Post revaluation postings in a separate document.
    2. Check the transaction:

      • If you are using transaction codes like MI01/MI04/MI07 (Physical Inventory), ensure that only physical inventory items are included.
      • For revaluation, use transactions like MR21 (Price Change) or MR11 (Invoice Price Verification) separately.
    3. Review the document items:

      • Identify which items are flagged for physical inventory and which for revaluation.
      • Split them accordingly.
    4. Customizing check:

      • Verify if any custom enhancements or user exits are incorrectly mixing these items in one document.
