• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GPDMIGO006 - Sending and receiving material must belong to the same plant ?

  The SAP error message GPDMIGO006 indicates that there is a mismatch between the plants of the sending and receiving materials during a goods movement transaction. This typically occurs in scenarios such as stock transfers, where materials are being moved from one plant to another, and the system requires that both the sending and receiving materials belong to the same plant for the transaction to be valid.
  Cause:
  
  Different Plants: The most common cause of this error is that the material being sent and the material being received are associated with different plants in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the material master data where the plant assignment is not set correctly.
  Transaction Type: The type of transaction being performed may not allow for inter-plant transfers, depending on the settings in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify the plant assignment for both the sending and receiving materials. You can do this by checking the material master records (transaction code MM03).
  Ensure that both materials are assigned to the same plant.
  
  
  
  Correct the Transaction:
  
  If you are trying to perform a stock transfer between different plants, ensure that you are using the correct transaction type that allows for inter-plant transfers (e.g., using a stock transport order).
  If the materials are indeed meant to be transferred between different plants, you may need to create a stock transport order (STO) instead of a direct goods movement.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the system related to goods movements and stock transfers. Ensure that the settings allow for the type of transaction you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the transaction you are attempting to execute.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
