  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG038 - No company code found for supplying plant &. No access & ?

    The SAP error message:

    WG038 No company code found for supplying plant &. No access &

    typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) processes, especially when dealing with goods movements, stock transfers, or delivery processing involving plants and company codes.


    Cause

    • The system is trying to determine the company code associated with the supplying plant (the plant from which goods are issued or supplied).
    • However, no company code is assigned or found for the supplying plant in the system.
    • Alternatively, the user or process does not have the necessary authorization/access to the company code or plant data.
    • This can happen if:
      • The plant master data is incomplete or incorrectly maintained.
      • The plant is not assigned to any company code in the Enterprise Structure.
      • Authorization objects related to company code or plant are missing for the user.
      • The supplying plant is not maintained in the relevant customizing tables.

    Where to Check / Related Configuration

    1. Check Plant to Company Code Assignment:

      • Transaction: OX18
      • Path: SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Logistics - General ? Assign Plant to Company Code
      • Verify that the supplying plant is correctly assigned to a company code.
    2. Check Plant Master Data:

      • Transaction: OX10 (Define Plants)
      • Ensure the plant exists and is active.
    3. Authorization Check:

      • Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations for the company code and plant.
      • Relevant authorization objects include:
        • M_PLANT_ALL (Plant authorization)
        • B_BUPA_RLT (Business partner relationships)
        • F_BKPF_BUK (Accounting document company code)
      • Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check missing authorizations.
    4. Check Supply Chain / WM Customizing:

      • If the error occurs during warehouse processes, check the warehouse number and plant assignment.
      • Transaction: SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Master Data ? Define Warehouse Number and Assign Plant.

    Solution

    • Assign the supplying plant to a company code if missing (via OX18).
    • Correct or complete the plant master data.
    • Ensure the user has the required authorizations to access the plant and company code.
    • If the plant is newly created, ensure all relevant customizing and master data are maintained.
    • After changes, test the process again.

    Additional Notes

    • The placeholders "&" in the message will be replaced by the actual plant or company code values during runtime.
    • This error is common in cross-company code stock transfers or inter-plant deliveries where the system needs to identify the company code for the supplying plant.
    • If the error occurs in a custom program or interface, check the logic that fetches company code from plant.

    Summary

    Aspect Details
    Cause No company code assigned to supplying plant or missing user authorization.
    Solution Assign plant to company code (OX18), maintain plant master data, check user authorizations.
    Check Plant-company code assignment, plant master data, user authorizations (SU53).
    Context Warehouse Management, Inventory Management, Goods movements, deliveries.
