  Error Message
  WH075 - Enter count for items without document reference
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during warehouse management processes (such as physical inventory counting or posting goods movements) when you attempt to post or process an inventory count or movement, but some items do not have a corresponding document reference or count entered.
  Specifically, in warehouse management, when you perform a physical inventory count or post goods movements, the system expects a count or reference document for each item. If an item is found in the warehouse but no count or document reference is entered for it, the system raises this error to prevent incomplete or inconsistent data posting.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During physical inventory posting in Warehouse Management (transaction codes like LI01N, LI20, LI21).
  When posting goods movements or transfers where some items lack a document reference or count.
  When the system expects a count for all items in a storage bin or warehouse number, but some items are missing counts.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WH075 error, you need to:
  
  
  Enter the missing count for the items without document reference:
  
  Go back to the physical inventory document or the relevant transaction.
  Ensure that all items in the warehouse or storage bin have a count entered.
  For items without a document reference, manually enter the count or create the necessary document reference.
  
  
  
  Check the physical inventory document:
  
  Verify that all items expected to be counted are included in the document.
  If some items are missing, add them to the document and enter the count.
  
  
  
  Review the warehouse stock:
  
  Confirm that the stock in the warehouse matches the items in the inventory document.
  If discrepancies exist, investigate and correct them before posting.
  
  
  
  Use transaction codes:
  
  LI01N (Create Physical Inventory Document)
  LI20 (Enter Physical Inventory Count)
  LI21 (Post Physical Inventory Document)
  
  
  
  If the error occurs during posting goods movements:
  
  Check the movement type and ensure all required references and counts are entered.
  Verify that the warehouse management data is consistent.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This error is a safeguard to ensure data integrity in warehouse management.
  It prevents posting incomplete inventory counts which could lead to stock discrepancies.
  Always ensure that physical inventory documents are complete and accurate before posting.
  If you frequently encounter this error, review your physical inventory process and training to ensure all items are properly counted and documented.
