    Error Message

    WR016: Plant & not maintained


    Cause

    This error occurs when a plant is referenced in a transaction or configuration, but the plant master data has not been properly maintained or created in the system. Essentially, the system cannot find the plant in the relevant customizing or master data tables.

    Common scenarios include:

    • The plant has not been created in the system (transaction OX10).
    • The plant is not assigned to the company code or other organizational units as required.
    • The plant is missing in the relevant customizing settings for the process you are executing (e.g., in Material Management, Sales and Distribution, or Production Planning).
    • The plant is referenced in a document or configuration but does not exist or is inactive.

    Solution

    1. Check if the Plant Exists:

      • Use transaction OX10 to verify if the plant is created.
      • If the plant does not exist, create it here.
    2. Maintain Plant Master Data:

      • Ensure that the plant master data is complete and active.
      • Use transaction MM01 or MM02 to check material master data for the plant.
    3. Assign Plant to Company Code:

      • Use transaction OX18 to assign the plant to the appropriate company code.
      • This assignment is necessary for financial and controlling integration.
    4. Check Customizing Settings:

      • Depending on the module, check if the plant is maintained in the relevant customizing:
        • For Sales and Distribution: Check plant assignment in sales area (transaction OVX5).
        • For Production Planning: Check plant parameters (transaction OPPR).
        • For Warehouse Management: Check plant-warehouse assignment.
    5. Check Authorizations:

      • Sometimes, the error may appear if the user does not have authorization to access the plant data.
    6. Check for Typographical Errors:

      • Verify that the plant code entered is correct and matches the system records.
