• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MEPO059 - Plant &2 closed on delivery date ?

  The SAP error message MEPO059 ("Plant &2 closed on delivery date") typically occurs in the context of purchasing and procurement processes when a plant is closed for business on the specified delivery date of a purchase order or scheduling agreement. This can happen for various reasons, such as maintenance, holidays, or other operational constraints.
  Cause:
  
  Plant Closure: The plant is officially closed on the delivery date due to scheduled maintenance, holidays, or other operational reasons.
  Configuration Issues: The plant's calendar settings may not be correctly configured in the system, leading to incorrect closure dates.
  Delivery Date Mismatch: The delivery date specified in the purchase order or scheduling agreement falls on a date when the plant is not operational.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Plant Calendar: Verify the plant calendar settings in SAP to ensure that the closure dates are correctly defined. You can do this by navigating to:
  
  Transaction Code: SCAL (for maintaining the factory calendar).
  Ensure that the delivery date does not fall on a non-working day.

  Consult with Stakeholders: If the closure is due to planned maintenance or holidays, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., production, logistics) to determine the best course of action for rescheduling deliveries.
  
  
  Review Purchase Order: Check the purchase order or scheduling agreement for any discrepancies or errors that may have led to the incorrect delivery date being set.
  
  
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the system configuration related to plant operations and delivery scheduling. This may involve working with your SAP Basis or configuration team.
