  In other words, the system is looking for inventory documents scheduled for a particular date (the planned count date), but none exist in the system for that date.
  Common causes include:

  Check the planned count date:
  
  Verify that the planned count date you entered is correct.
  Make sure it matches the date for which physical inventory documents were created.
