• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DSD_01029 - Plant &1 ignored as only stores are supported ?

  The SAP error message:
  W_DSD_01029: Plant &1 ignored as only stores are supported
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in the context of SAP Demand-Driven Replenishment or related supply chain processes where the system expects a storage location (store) rather than a plant as the destination or relevant location.
  
  The message indicates that the system encountered a plant (identified by &1) in a process or configuration where only storage locations (stores) are valid.
  Typically, this happens in scenarios involving store-specific replenishment or store-level planning, where the system is designed to handle only storage locations (e.g., retail stores) and not plants (manufacturing or distribution centers).
  The plant is ignored because the process or function module is not designed to process plants, only stores.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During demand-driven replenishment or store-level planning runs.
  When the system reads master data or configuration that includes plants instead of stores.
  When the location determination or assignment is incorrect or incomplete.
  When the planning or replenishment process expects a storage location but receives a plant.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Master Data and Configuration:
  
  Verify that the locations involved in the process are correctly defined as storage locations (stores) and not plants.
  In SAP Retail or Demand-Driven Replenishment, stores are typically represented as storage locations or special location types.
  Ensure that the plant &1 is not mistakenly assigned or used where a store should be.
  
  
  
  Adjust Location Assignments:
  
  If the process requires stores, make sure that the relevant locations are assigned as stores in the system.
  Review the location hierarchy and mapping in customizing (e.g., IMG settings for Retail or Supply Chain).
  
  
  
  Review Process Parameters:
  
  Check the parameters or selection criteria of the replenishment or planning run.
  Make sure that the process is targeting stores, not plants.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes / Documentation:
  
  Look for SAP Notes related to message W_DSD_01029 for any patches or updates.
  Review SAP Help or documentation for Demand-Driven Replenishment or Retail Store Planning.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W_), so the process may continue but the plant is ignored.
  It is important to ensure that the correct location types are used to avoid incorrect planning or replenishment results.
  In SAP Retail, stores are often represented as storage locations under a plant, or as special organizational units.
  The message code prefix W_DSD indicates it is related to Demand-Driven Supply/Demand processes.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: A plant is used where only stores (storage locations) are supported.
  Effect: The plant is ignored in the process.
  Solution: Correct the location assignments so that stores are used instead of plants in the relevant process or configuration.
