  The SAP error message WBB_HPR091 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of plants to different distribution chains. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to perform a transaction that involves multiple plants, but those plants are not aligned with the same distribution chain.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to process a transaction (like creating a sales order, purchase order, or stock transfer) that involves multiple plants.

  Check Plant Assignments:
  
  Go to the transaction code OVX5 (or navigate through the SAP menu) to check the assignment of plants to distribution chains.

  Align Plants:

  Adjust Transaction:
  
  If it is not feasible to change the plant assignments, consider modifying your transaction to only include plants that belong to the same distribution chain.
