  SAP Error Message:
  WSTI_MON001 - No physical inventory documents exist for the selection given
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to display or process physical inventory documents (e.g., in transaction MI01, MI04, MI22, or related inventory monitoring reports), but the system cannot find any physical inventory documents matching the selection criteria you have entered.
  Common reasons include:
  
  No physical inventory documents have been created for the material, plant, or storage location you selected.
  The selection parameters (such as date range, material number, plant, storage location, or document status) are too restrictive or incorrect.
  Physical inventory documents may have been archived or deleted.
  You might be using the wrong transaction or report for the intended purpose.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Verify that the material number, plant, storage location, and other selection parameters are correct.
  Broaden the selection criteria (e.g., increase the date range, remove unnecessary filters) to ensure documents are not excluded.
  
  
  
  Create Physical Inventory Documents:
  
  If no documents exist, create physical inventory documents using transaction MI01 (Create Physical Inventory Document).
  Ensure that the physical inventory process has been initiated for the materials/plants in question.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Some reports or transactions only show documents with certain statuses (e.g., open, counted, posted).
  Adjust the selection to include all statuses or the relevant status.
  
  
  
  Check Archiving:
  
  If documents have been archived, they will not appear in standard selection.
  Use archive information system or check with your SAP Basis/Archive team.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction/Report:
  
  Ensure you are using the appropriate transaction or report for your purpose.
  For example, use MI20 to display physical inventory documents, or MI24 for inventory differences.
