How To Fix 06769 - & not defined in the case of supplier with plant assignment

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 06 -

• Message number: 769

• Message text: & not defined in the case of supplier with plant assignment

What causes this issue?

You are entering a purchase transaction involving a supplier to whom a
plant has been assigned. Normally, this will involve the transfer of
materials from one plant to another.
This process necessitates a delivery and a billing document in the SD
system. The PO appears directly in the delivery due list of the issuing
plant (supplier) and therefore does not need to be transmitted.
However, an item with the procurement form "third-party" (triangular
business deal) cannot appear in the delivery due list.

How to fix this error?

An item with the procurement form "third-party" can only be ordered from
suppliers without a plant assignment.
