In SharePoint Settings, when you configure global settings on a SharePoint sites group, and then use the End User Solution to create a site under the site collection that exists in the sites group, the physical library in the site cannot be used. AvePoint RevIM does not support creating a site under an existing SharePoint Online site collection using the End User Solution.

Workaround: The RevIM column can be added manually to the site groups/site collection/site manually i.e. not through the RevIM interface. The Physical Item Import function does not support importing physical files whose availability status is loaned to SharePoint physical libraries.
