  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WJ227 - Enter plant, customer or class ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WJ227 - Enter plant, customer or class


    Cause:

    This warning message appears when a required field is missing during a transaction or data entry in SAP. Specifically, the system expects you to enter at least one of the following fields:

    • Plant (WERKS)
    • Customer (KUNNR)
    • Class (characteristic or classification data)

    The message indicates that none of these fields have been filled, and the system needs at least one to proceed.


    When does it occur?

    • Typically during processes involving material master data, sales orders, or classification where the system needs to filter or identify data based on plant, customer, or class.
    • For example, when you are trying to display or maintain data that is plant-specific, customer-specific, or class-specific, and you leave all these fields blank.

    Solution:

    • Enter at least one of the required fields:

      • Plant: Enter the plant code relevant to your transaction.
      • Customer: Enter the customer number if the transaction is customer-specific.
      • Class: Enter the classification or characteristic if the data is class-dependent.
    • Check the transaction or screen:
      Make sure you understand which field is mandatory in your context. Sometimes the screen or transaction variant requires one of these fields to narrow down the data.

    • If unsure, consult documentation or SAP help:
      The requirement for these fields depends on the business process and configuration.
