  The SAP error message M5211 indicates an inconsistency between the tables T001W (Plant Data) and T001K (Company Code Data). This error typically arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration or data between these two tables, which are essential for the proper functioning of materials management and financial accounting processes in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Entries: There may be entries in T001W (plant data) that do not have corresponding entries in T001K (company code data).
  Deleted or Inactive Data: If a plant or company code has been deleted or marked as inactive, it can lead to inconsistencies.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration during the setup of plants or company codes can lead to mismatches.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) without proper synchronization, inconsistencies may arise.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Consistency:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the contents of T001W and T001K.
  Identify any plants in T001W that do not have corresponding entries in T001K.
  
  
  
  Create Missing Entries:

  Correct Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for both the plant and company code in the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide).
