• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_CALC005 - Physical inventory switched off for opening time in all plants ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSTI_CALC005 - Physical inventory switched off for opening time in all plants
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a physical inventory process (such as creating or posting inventory documents) but the physical inventory indicator is not activated (switched off) for the relevant plants at the specified opening time. In other words, the system settings for physical inventory control in the plant master data or inventory management settings indicate that physical inventory is not allowed or not active during the period you are trying to process.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Physical inventory in SAP is controlled at the plant level.
  Each plant has settings that determine whether physical inventory is active or inactive for certain periods.
  If the physical inventory indicator is switched off for all plants at the time you are trying to open or post a physical inventory document, the system will throw this error.
  This is a safeguard to prevent inventory postings when physical inventory is not allowed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Physical Inventory Indicator in Plant Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction OMJ1 (or use SPRO path: Logistics Execution ? Physical Inventory ? Physical Inventory Control ? Define Physical Inventory Indicator).
  Verify if the physical inventory indicator is set correctly for the plants involved.
  Ensure that the physical inventory indicator is activated for the plants during the period you want to perform the inventory.
  
  
  
  Check Physical Inventory Settings in Material Master:
  
  In the material master (MM02), check the Plant Data / Storage 1 view.
  Verify the physical inventory indicator for the material and plant.
  
  
  
  Check the Physical Inventory Period:
  
  Verify if the physical inventory period is open.
  Use transaction MI01 or MI04 to check if the physical inventory document can be created or counted.
  If the period is closed or physical inventory is not allowed, adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Activate Physical Inventory for the Plant:
  
  If physical inventory is switched off, activate it by setting the physical inventory indicator to active.
  This might require coordination with your inventory control or plant management team.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Use transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Physical Inventory ? Physical Inventory Control.
  Check if any settings restrict physical inventory for the plants or periods.

  Notes:
  
  Physical inventory must be activated before you can create or post inventory documents.
  If you have multiple plants, ensure that physical inventory is activated for all relevant plants.
  Sometimes, this error can occur if the system date/time is outside the allowed physical inventory period.
