  SAP Error Message:
  WSTI_CALC006 - Physical inventory switched off for opening time in plant &1
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a physical inventory-related transaction or calculation, but the physical inventory indicator (or switch) for the specified plant is not activated (i.e., it is switched off). Essentially, the system is telling you that physical inventory management is not enabled for the plant in question, so you cannot proceed with inventory opening or related activities.
  
  Cause Details:
  
  The plant in question does not have physical inventory management activated.
  The system checks a specific indicator or setting that controls whether physical inventory processes (like inventory count, opening, or closing) are allowed.
  If this indicator is off, the system prevents physical inventory transactions to avoid inconsistencies.
  
  
  Where is this setting maintained?
  
  The physical inventory indicator is maintained in the Material Master or Plant parameters.
  Specifically, in Customizing under:
  
  Logistics Execution ? Physical Inventory ? Physical Inventory Control ? Activate Physical Inventory for Plants
  Or in the plant master data settings.
  
  
  
  
  How to check / verify:
  
  Go to transaction OMJ1 (or via SPRO path:
  
  Logistics Execution ? Physical Inventory ? Physical Inventory Control ? Activate Physical Inventory for Plants).
  Check if the plant &1 (the plant number from the error message) is activated for physical inventory.
  Alternatively, check the plant master data in transaction OX10 or SPRO settings.
  
  
  Solution / Resolution:
  
  Activate physical inventory for the plant:
  
  In Customizing (transaction OMJ1), activate the physical inventory indicator for the plant.
  
  
  If physical inventory is not intended for this plant, avoid performing physical inventory transactions for it.
  After activation, retry the physical inventory transaction.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Physical inventory management is essential for stocktaking and inventory valuation.
  Activating physical inventory allows you to create physical inventory documents, post inventory differences, and perform inventory counts.
  If you are unsure whether physical inventory should be activated for a plant, consult your inventory or warehouse management team.
  Sometimes, this error can also occur if the plant is newly created and the physical inventory settings have not yet been configured.
