  The SAP error message MM_PUR_SES109 indicates that there is a mismatch between the plants specified in a contract and a purchase order. Specifically, the error occurs when a purchase order references a contract that is associated with a different plant than the one specified in the purchase order.

  Check the Contract: Review the contract referenced in the error message to confirm which plant it is associated with. You can do this by navigating to the contract in the SAP system and checking the plant field.
  Verify the Purchase Order: Check the purchase order to see which plant is specified. Ensure that it matches the plant in the contract.
  Create a New Purchase Order: If the PO is for a different plant, you may need to create a new purchase order that references the correct contract for the intended plant.
  Modify the Existing PO: If applicable, you can also modify the existing purchase order to change the plant to match the contract, provided that this is allowed in your business process.
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you are unsure about the correct plants or if there are other underlying issues, consult with your SAP administrator or procurement team for guidance.
