• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH076 - Enter count without document reference cancelled ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WH076 - Enter count without document reference cancelled
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the Warehouse Management (WM) module when you try to enter a physical inventory count without specifying a reference document (such as a transfer order, material document, or inventory document) where the system expects one. The system requires a document reference to validate and post the count, and if it is missing or incorrect, the process is cancelled.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Attempting to post a physical inventory count directly in WM without creating or referencing an inventory document.
  Trying to enter count data in a transaction that requires a document reference but none is provided.
  Incorrect or missing document number in the input screen.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use the Correct Inventory Document:
  
  Before entering the count, create or identify the relevant inventory document (e.g., physical inventory document in WM).
  Use transaction codes like LI01N (Create Inventory Count Document) or LI02N (Change Inventory Count Document) to create or manage the inventory document.
  Enter the count referencing this document.
  
  
  
  Check the Transaction Used:
  
  Ensure you are using the correct transaction for entering counts. For example, use LX02 (Enter Inventory Count) or LX03 (Display Inventory Count) which require a document reference.
  Avoid entering counts directly in transactions that do not support count entry without a document.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Number:
  
  If you are prompted for a document number, ensure it is correctly entered and exists in the system.
  If the document was deleted or not created, recreate it.
  
  
  
  System Settings:
  
  Check if the system is configured to require document references for count entries.
  Consult your WM configuration team if customization or settings need adjustment.

  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP Help Portal for Warehouse Management physical inventory processes.
  Check SAP Notes related to WM physical inventory errors if the problem persists.
  
  
  
  Process Overview:
  
  Physical inventory in WM typically involves:
  
  Creating an inventory document (LI01N).
  Entering counts referencing this document (LX02).
  Posting the inventory differences.
  
  
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to create and post inventory documents.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  WH076 error means you tried to enter a count without linking it to a required inventory document. To fix it, always create and reference the appropriate inventory document before entering counts in WM. Use the correct transactions and verify document numbers to avoid this error.
