Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WN103 - Plant &1; company ID of trading partner is different in cust. and suppl. ?

  The SAP error message WN103 indicates that there is a mismatch between the company code of the trading partner in the customer master data and the supplier master data. This typically occurs in scenarios involving intercompany transactions or when dealing with trading partners that are both customers and suppliers.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The trading partner (which can be a customer or supplier) is defined with different company codes in the customer and supplier master records.
  The system expects that the trading partner should have the same company code in both records for proper accounting and reporting.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WN103 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Customer and Supplier Master Data:
  
  Go to the customer master record (transaction code XD03 for display or XD02 for change) and check the company code assigned to the trading partner.
  Go to the supplier master record (transaction code XK03 for display or XK02 for change) and verify the company code assigned to the same trading partner.
  
  
  
  Align Company Codes:
  
  If you find that the company codes are different, you will need to align them. This may involve:
  
  Changing the company code in either the customer or supplier master record to match the other.
  If the trading partner should indeed have different company codes, consider whether the trading partner should be set up as two separate entities (one as a customer and one as a supplier) with appropriate company codes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to trading partners and intercompany transactions. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance/Accounting:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the master data, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure that the changes comply with your organization's policies.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  XD03 / XD02: Customer Master Data
  XK03 / XK02: Supplier Master Data
  
  
  Intercompany Transactions:
  
  Understand how intercompany transactions are handled in your organization, as this may affect how trading partners are set up.
  
  
  Documentation:
