• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MGV072 - Display/change of logistics switch not possible. No plant entered ?

  The SAP error message MGV072 ("Display/change of logistics switch not possible. No plant entered") typically occurs when you are trying to access or modify logistics switches in the system without specifying a plant. This error is common in the context of materials management and logistics, where certain settings are plant-specific.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system requires a plant to be specified in order to display or change logistics switches. The logistics switches control various settings related to inventory management, purchasing, and other logistics processes, and these settings can vary from one plant to another.

  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you specify a plant when trying to display or change the logistics switch. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Specify a Plant: When you access the transaction related to logistics switches (e.g., transaction code OML2 for logistics switches), make sure to enter a valid plant code in the appropriate field.
  
  
  Check User Input: If you are using a custom program or report, ensure that the logic includes a prompt for the user to enter a plant or that it correctly retrieves the plant from the context.
  
  
  Review Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the logistics switch settings for the specified plant.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct plant codes or the logistics switches, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator.
