  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG016 - Wrong purch. org. & found in order header data for order &
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when there is a mismatch between the purchasing organization assigned to a purchase order (or related document) and the purchasing organization expected or allowed in the system for that particular order or process.
  In other words, the purchasing organization in the order header does not correspond to the purchasing organization that the system expects for the given order. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect entry or change of purchasing organization in the order header.
  Inconsistent master data or configuration settings.
  Attempting to process or reference a purchase order with a purchasing organization that is not valid for the current context (e.g., company code, plant, or vendor).
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  When creating or changing a purchase order, the purchasing organization entered does not match the one assigned to the vendor or company code.
  When referencing a purchase order in another document (e.g., goods receipt, invoice verification), the purchasing organization in the PO header is different from what the system expects.
  Integration issues between MM (Materials Management) and SD (Sales and Distribution) or other modules where purchasing org is a key organizational unit.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check the Purchasing Organization in the Purchase Order:
  
  Go to the purchase order header (ME22N or ME23N).
  Verify the purchasing organization field.
  Ensure it is the correct purchasing organization for the vendor and company code.
  
  
  
  Verify Vendor Master Data:
  
  Check the vendor master (transaction XK03 or MK03).
  Confirm that the purchasing organization assigned to the vendor matches the PO's purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Check Company Code and Plant Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the purchasing organization is valid for the company code and plant involved.
  Use transaction OX08 to check purchasing organization assignments.
  
  
  
  Correct the Purchasing Organization:
  
  If the purchasing organization is incorrect in the PO, change it to the correct one (if allowed).
  If the PO is already processed and cannot be changed, consider creating a new PO with the correct purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Verify the configuration in IMG under Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Purchase Order ? Define Purchasing Organizations.
  Ensure that the purchasing organization is properly assigned to the company code and plant.
  
  
  
  Check Document Flow and References:
  
  If the error occurs during referencing or processing related documents (e.g., goods receipt, invoice), verify that the purchasing organization in the original PO matches the expected one.
