  Error Message:
  WSTI021 - Count was saved. Posting must be carried out in the head office.
  
  
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs in the context of Inventory Management (IM) or Warehouse Management (WM) processes, especially during physical inventory counting or inventory posting in a decentralized organizational structure.
  
  The system allows the user to save the physical inventory count locally (e.g., at a branch or plant level).
  However, the actual posting of the inventory differences (i.e., the adjustment of stock quantities and values) is restricted to be done only at the head office or a central organizational unit.
  This restriction is often due to organizational or business process controls configured in the system to ensure that inventory postings are centralized for consistency, control, or audit reasons.
