• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFCS095 - Items inconsistent (plant: &1) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WFCS095 Items inconsistent (plant: &1)
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow when there is an inconsistency related to the plant data of items involved in a workflow step. Specifically, the workflow expects items to belong to a certain plant, but the actual items have different or inconsistent plant assignments.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The workflow is triggered for items that belong to multiple plants, but the workflow or the underlying business logic expects all items to be from the same plant.
  The plant data in the workflow container or the referenced objects is inconsistent or missing.
  Custom workflow steps or user exits that process items based on plant data find discrepancies.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the plant code causing the inconsistency.
  The workflow engine checks the consistency of items (e.g., purchase requisitions, purchase orders, material documents) and their associated plants.
  If the items belong to different plants or the plant data does not match the expected value, the workflow cannot proceed and throws this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Plant Data of Items:
  
  Verify the plant assigned to the items involved in the workflow.
  Ensure all items belong to the same plant if the workflow requires it.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow Container and Binding:
  
  Check the workflow container elements related to the items and plants.
  Make sure the plant data is correctly passed and consistent.
  
  
  
  Analyze Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  If there are custom workflow steps or user exits, review the logic that handles plant data.
  Correct any assumptions or hard-coded values that might cause inconsistency.
  
  
  
  Adjust Workflow Logic if Needed:
  
  If the business process allows multiple plants, modify the workflow to handle multiple plants or split the workflow per plant.
  
  
  
  Data Correction:
  
  If the inconsistency is due to incorrect master data or transactional data, correct the plant assignments in the relevant documents.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After corrections, test the workflow with items from the same and different plants to ensure the error does not recur.

  Summary:
  The error WFCS095 Items inconsistent (plant: &1) indicates a mismatch or inconsistency in plant data among items processed in a workflow. The solution involves verifying and correcting plant assignments, ensuring consistent data in the workflow container, and adjusting workflow logic if necessary.
