3797310 - Error "you cannot search for product data for location-specific method AL" when filtering by party entitled to dispose - SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud

Error: "You cannot search for product data for location-specific method AL" in app Create Physical Inventory Documents - APP ID /SCWM/PI_DOC_CREATE when user enter "Party Entitled to Dispose" as filter.

Message no. /SCWM/UI_PI009

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open the app Create Physical Inventory Documents (/SCWM/PI_DOC_CREATE).
2. Select a warehouse number and an activity area.
3. Enter a value in the Party Entitled to Dispose filter field.
4. Choose physical inventory procedure AL/HL (storage-bin-specific).
5. Start the selection: the error appears.

• Expected behavior by design: AL/HL is a storage-bin-specific (location-based) procedure that counts all stock in a bin.
• Party Entitled to Dispose (PED) is a product/stock ownership attribute and implies a product-data-based selection.
• Filtering by PED is incompatible with AL/HL’s bin-centric selection logic, so the system blocks this combination.

1. Do not use the Party Entitled to Dispose filter together with the storage-bin-specific PI procedure AL/HL in /SCWM/PI_DOC_CREATE.
2. If inventory must be restricted by Party Entitled to Dispose, use a PI approach that supports product/stock attribute-based selection rather than the location-specific AL/HL method.
3. Refer to the product documentation for supported PI procedures and their selection capabilities.
