  SAP Error Message:
  WSTI_CALC012 - No physical inventory documents available for this selection
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform a physical inventory calculation or related process (such as posting differences, creating count documents, or running inventory reports) but the system cannot find any physical inventory documents that match the selection criteria you have entered.
  Common reasons include:
  
  No physical inventory documents have been created for the selected plant, storage location, material, or inventory period.
  The selection parameters (date range, material number, plant, storage location, etc.) do not correspond to any existing physical inventory documents.
  Physical inventory documents may have been deleted or not yet generated.
  The inventory documents exist but are in a status that excludes them from the selection (e.g., already posted or archived).
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Verify that the plant, storage location, material number, and date range you entered are correct.
  Ensure that the selection parameters actually correspond to existing physical inventory documents.
  
  
  
  Create Physical Inventory Documents:
  
  If no documents exist, create physical inventory documents using transaction MI01 (Create Physical Inventory Document).
  Alternatively, use MI31 (Batch Input: Create Physical Inventory Documents) for mass creation.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Use MI04 (Enter Inventory Count) or MI20 (List of Physical Inventory Documents) to check if documents exist and their status.
  Ensure documents are not already posted or archived.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Parameters:
  
  Broaden the selection criteria to include more documents.
  Remove filters that might be too restrictive.
