• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_PP_ORD252 - Enter a different plant or alternate BOM in source and destination. ?

  The SAP error message FSH_PP_ORD252 typically occurs in the context of production planning and order processing, particularly when dealing with Bill of Materials (BOM) and plant-specific configurations. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the source and destination plants or the BOMs being used in a production order or related transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Plant Mismatch: The source and destination plants specified in the production order or transaction do not match. Each plant may have its own BOM, and if the BOM for the source plant is not compatible with the destination plant, this error will occur.
  BOM Configuration: The BOM used in the source plant may not be available or valid for the destination plant. This can happen if the BOM is plant-specific and has not been created for the destination plant.
  Material Master Data: The material master data for the materials involved may not be correctly set up for the plants in question, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Plant Configuration: Verify that the plants involved in the transaction are correctly configured and that the necessary BOMs exist for both the source and destination plants.
  Review BOMs: Ensure that the BOM for the material in the source plant is also available and valid for the destination plant. If it is not, you may need to create or copy the BOM to the destination plant.
  Adjust Production Order: If the plants are correct but the BOMs are not, consider adjusting the production order to use a BOM that is valid for both plants or change the plant in the order to match the BOM.
  Material Master Data: Check the material master data for the materials involved to ensure that they are set up correctly for both plants. This includes checking the plant-specific data and ensuring that the materials are available in both locations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), or CS03 (Display BOM) to manage BOMs.

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes and documentation for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or fixes provided by SAP.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify BOMs and production orders in the system.
