  The SAP error message /ACCGO/MCK_MSG_MAINT083 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of intra-company contracts, specifically that the lead and mirror plants must be different. This error typically arises in the context of intercompany processes where one company code (the lead) is supplying goods to another company code (the mirror) within the same organization.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The lead and mirror plants are set to be the same in the contract, which violates the requirement for intra-company transactions.
  Data Entry Error: During the creation or maintenance of the intra-company contract, the same plant may have been mistakenly entered for both the lead and mirror plants.
  Business Logic: The business process may require that the lead and mirror plants be distinct to ensure proper accounting and inventory management.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Contract Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the intra-company contract in SAP.
  Verify the entries for the lead and mirror plants.
  Ensure that they are set to different plants.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry:
  
  If the same plant has been entered for both lead and mirror, change one of them to a different plant that is valid for the transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Business Process:
  
  Confirm with the business process owners or stakeholders that the requirement for different lead and mirror plants aligns with the intended business logic.
  If necessary, update the process documentation to reflect this requirement.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, test the contract creation or maintenance process to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
