  SAP Error Message:
  
  WPSOR001 - Enter a work center and a plant
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to proceed with a transaction or operation in SAP that requires a work center and plant to be specified, but one or both of these mandatory fields are missing or not entered correctly.
  Typically, this happens in modules related to Production Planning (PP), Plant Maintenance (PM), or Capacity Planning where the system needs to know the exact work center and plant to process the request.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Work Center: Represents a physical or logical location where operations are performed (e.g., a machine, production line, or group of machines).
  Plant: Represents a manufacturing facility or location where the work center is located.
  
  The system requires both to determine capacity, scheduling, and resource allocation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Work Center and Plant:
  
  When prompted, fill in the Work Center field with the correct work center ID.
  Enter the corresponding Plant code where the work center is located.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the work center exists and is correctly assigned to the plant in the system.
  Use transaction codes like CR03 (Display Work Center) to check the work center details.
  Ensure the plant is valid and active in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Screen Layout or User Input:
  
  If the fields are missing or not visible, check if the screen layout or user parameters are set correctly.
  Sometimes, customizations or user roles might hide mandatory fields.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the work center is assigned to the plant in the work center master data.
  If the work center is not assigned to the plant, assign it using CR02 (Change Work Center).
  
  
  
  Check Transaction or Program Logic:
  
  If this error appears during a custom program or report, ensure that the program logic requires and passes the work center and plant parameters correctly.
