Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB391 - Company code &1 of sales org &2 <> company code &3 of contract ?

  The SAP error message:
  W_CB391 Company code &1 of sales org &2 <> company code &3 of contract
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs when there is a mismatch between the company code assigned to the sales organization and the company code assigned to the contract in a sales document or contract processing.
  
  &1 = Company code of the sales organization
  &2 = Sales organization
  &3 = Company code of the contract
  
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), each sales organization is assigned to exactly one company code. When creating or processing a sales document (e.g., a contract), the system checks if the company code of the sales organization matches the company code assigned to the contract. If they differ, this warning is triggered.
  
  Why does this happen?
  
  The sales organization is linked to a different company code than the one assigned to the contract.
  The contract might have been created under a different company code.
  Master data inconsistency or incorrect assignment in organizational structure.
  Possibly a cross-company code sales scenario, which is generally not allowed or requires special configuration.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Organizational Assignments:
  
  Verify the company code assigned to the sales organization in transaction OVX5 or via SPRO:
  
  SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Sales and Distribution ? Assign Sales Organization to Company Code.
  
  
  Ensure the sales organization is assigned to the correct company code.
  
  
  
  Check Contract Data:
  
  Review the contract header data to see which company code it is assigned to.
  If the contract was created under a different company code, consider creating a new contract under the correct company code or adjust the sales organization/company code assignment if business-wise correct.
  
  
  
  Adjust Master Data:
  
  If the sales organization is incorrectly assigned to a company code, correct it.
  If the contract is incorrectly assigned, recreate or adjust it.
  
  
  
  Cross-Company Code Sales:
  
  If your business requires sales across company codes, you need to configure intercompany sales processes properly.
  This involves setting up intercompany billing, intercompany pricing, and partner determination.
  Note that standard sales documents are generally restricted to one company code.
  
  
  
  Ignore Warning (if appropriate):
  
  Since this is a warning (W), not an error (E), you may proceed if the business process allows.
  However, it is recommended to resolve the inconsistency to avoid issues in billing, accounting, and reporting.

  Review SAP SD organizational structure documentation.
  
  
  
  Impact:
  
  Mismatched company codes can cause issues in billing, accounting integration, and reporting.
  Intercompany sales require special configuration and master data setup.
