  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTI_CALC013 - The physical inventory documents selected do not contain any items
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the physical inventory process in SAP when you attempt to perform an action (such as posting differences, counting, or creating documents) on physical inventory documents that do not have any inventory items assigned to them. Essentially, the system is indicating that the selected physical inventory documents are empty — no materials or stock items are included in those documents.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The physical inventory document was created but no items were added to it.
  The selection criteria used to pick the physical inventory documents did not include any documents with items.
  Items were removed or deleted from the physical inventory document before processing.
  Incorrect or incomplete data entry during the creation of the physical inventory document.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Physical Inventory Document:
  
  Use transaction MI04 (Enter Count) or MI07 (Post Differences) to review the physical inventory document.
  Verify if the document contains any items. You can display the document using MI03 (Display Physical Inventory Document).
  
  
  
  Add Items to the Document:
  
  If the document is empty, add the relevant materials/items to the physical inventory document.
  You can create or update the document using MI01 (Create Physical Inventory Document) or MI31 (Create List of Inventory Differences).
  
  
  
  Verify Selection Criteria:
  
  When selecting physical inventory documents for processing, ensure that your selection criteria actually include documents with items.
  Adjust filters or selection parameters to include documents with inventory items.
  
  
  
  Recreate Physical Inventory Documents if Necessary:
  
  If the document is invalid or empty due to errors, consider deleting and recreating the physical inventory document with the correct items.
  
  
  
  Check for Authorization or Data Issues:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view and process the documents.
  Verify that the material master data and stock data are consistent and correctly maintained.
