  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTI_WD001 – Enter the time at which the counting has been done
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management processes when performing physical inventory counting or posting. The system requires the user to enter the exact time at which the physical inventory counting was performed. If this time is missing or not entered in the relevant field during the posting or confirmation of the inventory count, the system throws this error.
  The time is necessary to ensure accurate recording of inventory data and to maintain consistency in inventory valuation and stock management.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During physical inventory document processing.
  When confirming or posting inventory count results.
  In transactions related to inventory counting (e.g., transaction codes like LI01N, LI20, LI21, or WM physical inventory transactions).
  When the system is configured to require the time of counting as mandatory.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Counting Time:
  
  When prompted, enter the exact time (hours and minutes) at which the physical inventory counting was performed.
  This is usually done in the "Time" field on the physical inventory document or during the posting step.
  
  
  
  Check Screen Layout or User Input:
  
  Ensure that the time field is visible and not hidden due to screen layout or user-specific settings.
  If the field is missing, check the screen variant or user parameters.
  
  
  
  Configuration Check:
  
  If the time entry is not required or you want to make it optional, check the configuration in the IMG under:
  Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Physical Inventory -> Define Physical Inventory Document Types
  Here, you can adjust the settings related to mandatory time entry.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Train users to always enter the counting time during physical inventory postings to avoid this error.
