  Error Message:
  WSTI020 - Enter all items before posting the count list
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the physical inventory process in SAP when you try to post a count list (inventory count) but not all the items in the count list have been entered or recorded.
  In other words, the system expects that all items included in the count list are physically counted and their quantities entered before you can post the count. If some items are missing count entries, the system prevents posting to ensure data completeness and accuracy.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During the posting of a physical inventory count (transaction MI11 or similar).
  When the count list contains multiple items, but some items have no count quantity entered.
  The system enforces that all items must have a count quantity before posting.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter all count quantities:
  
  Go back to the count entry screen (e.g., transaction MI04 or MI07).
  Make sure that all items in the count list have a quantity entered.
  If an item was not counted, enter zero (0) to indicate it was checked but found to have no stock.
  
  
  
  Check for missing items:
  
  Verify the count list to ensure no items are skipped.
  Sometimes, items might be overlooked or accidentally left blank.
  
  
  
  Post the count list again:
  
  After all items have quantities entered, try posting the count list again.
  The system should now allow posting without error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  Physical Inventory Process in SAP:
  
  The physical inventory process involves creating a count list, entering counted quantities, and posting the results.
  SAP requires completeness to maintain inventory accuracy and avoid discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Transactions involved:
  
  MI01 - Create Physical Inventory Document
  MI04 - Enter Inventory Count
  MI07 - Post Inventory Count
  MI11 - Post Inventory Differences
  
  
  
  If you want to post partial counts:
  
  SAP standard process does not allow posting partial counts for a count list.
  You may need to split the count list or create separate documents for partial counting.
  
  
  
  Customizing:
  
  Some organizations customize the process to allow partial posting, but this is not standard.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
