  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WOSE016 - Item '&' not displayed, as it belongs to a different plant ?

    The SAP error message WOSE016 indicates that a specific item (represented by '&') is not displayed because it belongs to a different plant than the one currently being viewed or processed. This error typically occurs in the context of production orders, work orders, or inventory management where items are plant-specific.

    Cause:

    1. Plant-Specific Data: In SAP, materials and items are often defined at the plant level. If you are trying to access or display an item that is not associated with the current plant, you will encounter this error.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that restrict visibility of items based on plant assignments.
    3. User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view items from other plants.

    Solution:

    1. Check Plant Assignment: Verify that the item you are trying to access is indeed assigned to the current plant. You can do this by checking the material master data in the relevant plant.
    2. Change Plant Context: If you need to view the item, switch to the correct plant context in your SAP session. This can usually be done by changing the plant in the selection screen or transaction.
    3. Material Master Data: If the item should be available in the current plant, you may need to create or extend the material master record for that plant.
    4. User Authorizations: Ensure that your user profile has the necessary authorizations to view items across different plants. This may require coordination with your SAP security team.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations that may affect item visibility.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material), MM02 (Change Material), or CO03 (Display Production Order) to check material and order details.
    • Material Master Views: Check the relevant views in the material master (e.g., Basic Data, Plant Data, Sales Data) to ensure the item is set up correctly for the intended plant.
    • SAP Notes: Look for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address the issue.

    If the problem persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team for further investigation.
