  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MCHG_WD062 indicates that a specific MRP (Material Requirements Planning) area is being assigned to more than one plant, which is not allowed in the SAP system. Each MRP area can only be associated with a single plant to maintain data integrity and ensure accurate planning and inventory management.
  Cause:

  Duplicate Assignment: The MRP area has been assigned to multiple plants in the system.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the MRP area settings or during the creation of the MRP area.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check MRP Area Assignments:
  
  Go to the transaction code OMD1 (or the relevant transaction for MRP area configuration).

  Create a New MRP Area:
  
  If the MRP area needs to be used for multiple plants, consider creating separate MRP areas for each plant instead of trying to assign the same MRP area to multiple plants.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to MRP area configuration for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations:
