  Document Category
  Document Type
  Plant
  
  The table T161V controls the assignment of document categories and types to plants for sales documents. If the system does not find a valid entry for the combination it needs, it throws this error.
  
  When does it occur?

  During delivery or billing document creation.
  When the system checks the document flow or document type assignments.
  When customizing is incomplete or inconsistent for the plant and document type/category.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the customizing table T161V:
  
  Go to transaction SM30 or SE16N and display table T161V.
  Verify if there is an entry for the combination of:
  
  Document Category (e.g., 'C' for sales order, 'J' for delivery, etc.)
  Document Type (e.g., OR, LF, etc.)
  Plant (e.g., 1000, 2000, etc.)
  
  
  
  
  
  Maintain missing entries:
  
  Use transaction VOTXN (Maintain Document Types for Sales Documents) or directly maintain table T161V via SM30.
  Add the missing combination of document category/type/plant.
  Ensure that the document type is correctly assigned to the plant and document category.
  
  
  
  Check related customizing:
  
  Verify that the plant is correctly assigned to the sales organization and distribution channel.
  Check if the document type is valid for the sales area and plant.
  Review the sales document type configuration in SPRO under:
  Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Header -> Define Sales Document Types
  
  
  
  Transport changes if needed:
  
  If you add or change customizing, ensure the changes are transported to the relevant systems (Quality, Production).
