  The SAP error message 06673 indicates that there is an issue with the stock transfer process between two plants. Specifically, it means that the supplying plant (plant &1) is not allowed to supply the receiving plant (plant &2) for stock transfers. This restriction can arise due to various reasons, such as configuration settings or organizational structure.
  Cause:
  
  Plant Configuration: The supplying plant may not be configured to supply the receiving plant. This can happen if the plants are in different company codes or if there are specific restrictions set in the system.
  Stock Transfer Type: The stock transfer type being used may not allow transfers between the specified plants.
  Material Master Data: The material may not be set up correctly in the material master for the supplying plant or the receiving plant.
  Inter-company vs. Intra-company: If the plants belong to different company codes, the system may require inter-company stock transfer processes, which have different configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Plant Configuration: Verify the configuration settings for both the supplying and receiving plants. Ensure that the supplying plant is allowed to supply the receiving plant.
