SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WSTI_CALC - Physical Inventory Messages: Book Inv. Calc. at Count Time

• Message number: 066

• Message text: Item written off but recalculation would result in a different book inv.

What causes this issue?

The book inventory for the count time has been calculated for this item.
The item has a book inventory of &V1& &V2&. However, if you were to
repeat calculation of the book inventory for the count time for this
item, this would mean &V3& &V2& the quantity of relevant POS
transactions would change. However, since the difference has already
been written off, which means that physical inventory is completed, no
further changes can be made to the item.

System Response

The system displays this message as the result of an analysis when the
POS transactions are displayed for the inventory document.

How to fix this error?

Check why the quantity of relevant POS transactions for this item in the
inventory document has changed. This might, for example, be for one of
the following reasons:
The book inventory for the count time was calculated for this inventory
document and the inventory differences were then written off. Further
POS transactions, which are relevant for calculating the book inventory
because they are in the corresponding period, were then transferred from
your POS system to the ERP system.
In this case, an error has occurred and can only be corrected by
repeating physical inventory for the material. In the future, make sure
that all the relevant POS transactions are transferred to the ERP system
before you calculate the book inventory.
The book inventory for the count time was calculated for this inventory
document and the inventory differences were then written off. The
relevant POS transactions were then reorganized.
In this case, the book inventory for the count time is correct but the
list of POS transactions displayed in the overview may be incomplete.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSTI_CALC066
  Text: Item written off but recalculation would result in a different book inventory.
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the inventory valuation or goods movement process when an item has been written off (e.g., due to scrapping or loss), but the system detects that if it recalculates the inventory value or quantity, the resulting book inventory (stock quantity or value) would differ from what is currently recorded.
  In other words, the system is trying to ensure consistency between the physical stock, the book inventory, and the valuation. If an item is written off, the system expects the recalculation to confirm the book inventory. If it doesn't, it raises this error to prevent inconsistencies in inventory valuation.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Manual adjustments or postings that cause discrepancies between physical stock and book inventory.
  Incorrect or incomplete movement types or valuation class assignments.
