• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RDM_BBY470 - Plant &1 of plant group &2 is also assigned to plant group &3 ?

  The SAP error message RDM_BBY470 indicates that there is a conflict in the assignment of a plant to multiple plant groups. Specifically, it states that a plant (identified by &1) is assigned to both plant group &2 and plant group &3, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  A plant is mistakenly assigned to more than one plant group in the system.
  There may be a configuration issue or data entry error where the same plant is being linked to multiple groups that are not supposed to overlap.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Plant Assignments:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., SPRO for configuration or the specific transaction for plant group assignments).
  Review the assignments of the plant in question to see which plant groups it is currently assigned to.
  
  
  
  Identify Conflicts:
  
  Determine if the plant should indeed be part of both plant groups. If not, you will need to remove the plant from one of the groups.
  
  
  
  Modify Assignments:
  
  If the plant should only belong to one group, navigate to the configuration settings for plant groups and remove the plant from the incorrect group.
  If the plant needs to be in both groups, you may need to review the business logic or requirements to see if adjustments can be made to allow for this.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save your configuration and check if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  Perform a test transaction that previously triggered the error to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OX18 (for plant group configuration) or OX10 (for plant configuration) to manage plant assignments.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed instructions on managing plant groups and assignments.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to plant group assignments in the system.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in plant and material management.
