  SAP Error Message: WSTI_DOC009
  Text: You have created physical inventory documents for all selected materials.
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you attempt to create physical inventory documents for materials that already have open or existing physical inventory documents in the system for the selected plant or storage location. Essentially, the system detects that physical inventory documents have already been generated for all the materials you selected, so it does not create duplicate documents.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, physical inventory documents are created to perform stocktaking for materials.
  When you try to create new physical inventory documents (e.g., via transaction MI01 or through batch jobs), the system checks if documents already exist for the selected materials.
  If documents already exist and are not yet posted or closed, the system prevents creating new ones to avoid duplication and confusion.
  This message is informational and indicates that no new documents were created because they already exist.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Physical Inventory Documents:
  
  Use transaction MI03 (Display Physical Inventory Document) or MI04 (Enter Inventory Count) to check if there are open physical inventory documents for the materials.
  You can also use MI20 (List of Physical Inventory Documents) to get an overview.
  
  
  
  Complete or Close Existing Documents:
  
  If the existing documents are still open, complete the counting and post the differences using MI07 (Post Inventory Differences).
  Once posted, you can create new physical inventory documents if needed.
  
  
  
  Select Different Materials or Adjust Selection Criteria:
  
  If you want to create documents for other materials, adjust your selection criteria to exclude those materials that already have open documents.
  
  
  
  Delete or Cancel Unnecessary Documents (if applicable):
  
  If some documents were created by mistake and are no longer needed, you can delete them using MI02 (Change Physical Inventory Document) and then delete the document if allowed.
  Note: Deleting physical inventory documents should be done carefully and usually requires proper authorization.

  Notes:

  Physical inventory processes are critical for accurate stock valuation and reporting.
