    SAP Error Message:
    WPSOR000 - Enter a main work center and a plant


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to create or process a production order, maintenance order, or a similar object in SAP, and the system requires a main work center and plant to be specified but these fields are either missing or incorrectly maintained.

    • The main work center is essential because it defines where the operation will be performed.
    • The plant is required to identify the location or organizational unit responsible for the order.

    Typically, this error arises if:

    • The main work center field is left blank.
    • The plant is not assigned or incorrectly assigned to the work center.
    • The work center master data is incomplete or not maintained properly.
    • The routing or task list used in the order does not have a valid main work center assigned.

    Solution:

    1. Enter the Main Work Center and Plant:

      • When creating or editing the order, ensure that the Main Work Center field is filled in.
      • Also, ensure the Plant field is correctly entered.
    2. Check Work Center Master Data:

      • Go to transaction CR03 (Display Work Center) or CR02 (Change Work Center).
      • Verify that the work center is assigned to the correct plant.
      • Ensure the work center is active and properly maintained.
    3. Check Routing or Task List:

      • If the order is created from a routing or task list, verify that the routing has a valid main work center assigned for each operation.
      • Use transaction CA03 (Display Routing) to check the work centers.
    4. Maintain Plant in Work Center:

      • If the work center is missing a plant assignment, maintain it in the work center master data.
    5. Check Order Type Configuration:

      • Sometimes, the order type configuration requires a main work center and plant.
      • Verify the configuration in OPJH or related customizing transactions.

    Additional Information:

    • The main work center is critical for capacity planning, scheduling, and costing.
    • The plant determines the organizational context for the order.
    • This error ensures data consistency and proper integration between production planning, capacity planning, and shop floor control.

    Summary:
