- Supplier & entered = supplying plant &. This is not allowed ?SAP Error Message:
WG046 - Supplier & entered = supplying plant &. This is not allowed
Cause:
This error occurs when the supplier entered in a purchasing document (such as a Purchase Order or Scheduling Agreement) is the same as the supplying plant. In SAP, the system does not allow the supplier and the supplying plant to be identical because it contradicts the business logic of procurement processes. Typically, the supplier is an external vendor, while the supplying plant is an internal plant that supplies materials.
In other words, the system expects that the supplier is a vendor (external party), and the supplying plant is an internal plant. If both are the same, it indicates a configuration or master data issue.
When does it occur?
Check Vendor and Plant Master Data:
Correct the Supplier Number:
Review Procurement Process:
Check Configuration:
Aspect | Details |

Cause | Supplier number entered is the same as the supplying plant number. |
Effect | Procurement document creation/change is blocked with error WG046. |
Solution | Use a valid vendor number different from the plant; use stock transport orders for internal transfers. |
Check | Vendor master data, plant master data, procurement process, and configuration. |
If you need further help, please provide the transaction code and document type where the error occurs, and details about the vendor and plant numbers used.
