• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KV006 - Processing will be carried out across plants ?

  The SAP error message KV006 ("Processing will be carried out across plants") typically occurs in the context of material management or production planning when there is an attempt to process a transaction that involves multiple plants, but the system is not configured to handle it properly.

  Plant-Specific Parameters: Check if there are any plant-specific parameters that need to be defined for the transaction you are trying to execute.
