  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message: WES_OUTBOUND026 No. of plants: &1
  
  1. Cause
  The error message WES_OUTBOUND026 typically occurs in the context of SAP's Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) outbound processing. The message indicates that the system has encountered an unexpected or incorrect number of plants during the outbound delivery or warehouse task creation process.
  
  The placeholder &1 represents the number of plants found or expected.
  The error usually means that the system expected a certain number of plants (usually one), but found either none or multiple plants associated with the delivery or warehouse order.
  This can happen if:
  
  The delivery document or warehouse order references multiple plants where only one is allowed.
  The master data (such as material master, customer master, or delivery document) is inconsistent or incorrectly maintained.
  The integration between Sales and Distribution (SD) and Warehouse Management (WM/EWM) is not properly configured.
  Custom enhancements or user exits incorrectly handle plant determination.
  
  
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the WES_OUTBOUND026 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Delivery Document:
  
  Verify the plant assigned to the delivery document.
  Ensure that the delivery is created for a single plant only.
  If multiple plants are involved, split the delivery accordingly.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master (MM03) for the relevant materials.
  Confirm that the plant data is correctly maintained and consistent.
  
  
  
  Check Customer Master and Shipping Data:
  
  Ensure that the customer master data (XD03) and shipping data are correctly maintained.
  Verify that the shipping point and plant assignments are consistent.
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Order/Task Creation:
  
  In WM/EWM, check the warehouse order or task creation logic.
  Ensure that the system is not trying to create warehouse tasks for multiple plants in one order.
  
  
  
  Configuration Check:
  
  Review the integration settings between SD and WM/EWM.
  Check the settings in transaction codes like SPRO under Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Interfaces ? Shipping.
  
  
  
  Debugging and Logs:
  
  If the issue persists, debug the outbound process to identify where multiple plants are being picked up.
  Check application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error information.
  
  
  
  Split Deliveries if Needed:
  
  If the business process requires deliveries from multiple plants, configure the system to split deliveries by plant.
