  Check Plant Configuration:

  Data Mapping:
  
  Ensure that the data mapping between the source and target systems is correctly set up. This includes checking any transformation rules that may affect how plants are referenced during the migration.
  
  
  
  Review Migration Settings:
  
  Check the settings and parameters used in the migration process. Ensure that the correct plants are being referenced and that there are no discrepancies in the data being migrated.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation related to the specific migration tool you are using (e.g., SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, SLT) for any additional configuration or prerequisites that may need to be addressed.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  After making the necessary changes, run any available consistency checks or validation tools provided by SAP to ensure that the data is correctly set up before re-attempting the migration.
