  The SAP error message "8I546 Plant code & does not exist" typically indicates that the system is unable to find the specified plant code in the database. This can occur in various contexts, such as during the creation of a purchase order, sales order, or when performing inventory management tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Plant Code: The plant code entered may be incorrect or misspelled.
  Plant Not Defined: The plant code may not have been defined in the system. This can happen if the plant was never created or if it was deleted.

  Check Plant Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OX10 (or SPRO -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics - General -> Define, copy, delete, check plant) to verify if the plant is defined in the system.
