How To Fix OD663 - Assigned location is different from the one already assigned to plant.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: OD - IS-Oil: TSW Traders' and Schedulers' Workbench messages

• Message number: 663

• Message text: Assigned location is different from the one already assigned to plant.

What causes this issue?

In TSW Phase1, you can assign only one plant to a location. Because of
this restriction, you will be forbidden from assigning all possible
role types to the business object plant / plant + storage location.
Example -
Plant : GPRV
Roletype TS Loc
TSW003 TS1 Origin loc
TSW005 TS1 Destination loc

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

TSW005 (receiver) can't take pure-origin locations, but because of the
first assignment (TSW003-receiver) and the 1-plant, 1-location
restriction, we cannot use destination loc and hence the role type
receiver cannot be assigned to this plant at this time.
Thus, if all receiver, breakout storage(locational) and supplier
roles have to be assigned to a certain plant, you may choose a location
that is both a destination and an origin right from the start.

System Response

How to fix this error?

All partner roles for this plant can have only one location. So assign
only one.
