• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VW872 - Deliv. & contains in the items plants that are not allowed ?

  The SAP error message VW872 indicates that there are delivery items in a sales order that contain plants that are not allowed for the delivery. This typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when trying to create a delivery for a sales order that includes materials from plants that are not permitted for the delivery process.
  Cause:
  
  Plant Configuration: The plants associated with the items in the sales order may not be configured correctly in the system. This could be due to settings in the material master or the sales order configuration.
  Delivery Plant Restrictions: There may be restrictions set in the system that prevent certain plants from being used for deliveries. This could be due to business rules or specific configurations in the sales area.
  Sales Order Settings: The sales order may have been created with items from multiple plants, and the delivery process is not set up to handle items from those specific plants.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Plant Settings: Verify the configuration of the plants in the material master and ensure that they are set up correctly for sales and distribution. Check if the plants are allowed for the delivery process.
  Review Sales Order: Look at the sales order items and identify which plants are causing the issue. If necessary, modify the sales order to include only items from allowed plants.
  Adjust Delivery Settings: If there are specific delivery settings that restrict certain plants, you may need to adjust these settings. This could involve changing the configuration in the sales area or delivery type.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If you are unsure about the settings or how to change them, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who specializes in SD to ensure that the system is set up correctly.
