  The SAP error message JITOUT116 indicates that a production supply area (PSA) is not defined for a specific plant. This error typically occurs in the context of Just-In-Time (JIT) production processes, where materials are supplied to production lines from designated supply areas.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A production order or a JIT delivery is being processed, and the system cannot find a defined production supply area for the specified plant.
  The production supply area is either not created or not properly assigned to the plant in the system.

  Verify if the production supply area exists for the specified plant.
  
  
  
  Create or Assign Production Supply Area:
  
  If the production supply area does not exist, you will need to create it.
  If it exists but is not assigned to the plant, you can assign it by editing the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the materials involved in the production order are correctly assigned to the production supply area.
  Go to the material master record and check the relevant views (e.g., MRP, Plant Data).
  
  
  
  Review JIT Settings:
  
  Check the JIT settings for the plant to ensure that the production supply area is correctly configured in the JIT profile.
  Navigate to Logistics -> Production -> JIT -> JIT Profile -> Define JIT Profile and verify the settings.
