  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR047 - Sales org. and/or distribution channel do not exist for plant & ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WR047: "Sales org. and/or distribution channel do not exist for plant &":


    Error Message:

    WR047 - Sales org. and/or distribution channel do not exist for plant &


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to create or process a sales document (like a sales order, delivery, or billing document) and the system cannot find a valid combination of:

    • Sales Organization
    • Distribution Channel
    • Plant

    in the Sales and Distribution (SD) organizational data.

    In SAP, the combination of Sales Org + Distribution Channel + Plant must be maintained in the system to ensure that the plant is authorized to deliver goods for the specified sales org and distribution channel.

    If this combination is missing or incorrectly maintained, the system throws this error.


    Where is this maintained?

    The relevant configuration is maintained in SPRO under:

    Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics Execution -> Assign Plants to Sales Organizations and Distribution Channels

    or

    Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Assign Plants to Sales Organizations and Distribution Channels

    Solution:

    1. Check the combination:

      • Go to transaction OVX5 (or use SPRO path above).
      • Verify if the plant is assigned to the sales organization and distribution channel you are using in the sales document.
    2. Maintain the missing assignment:

      • If the combination is missing, assign the plant to the sales organization and distribution channel.
      • Save the changes.
    3. Check master data:

      • Verify that the plant is correctly maintained in the material master and that the sales org and distribution channel are correctly entered in the sales document.
    4. Check the sales document:

      • Ensure that the sales org and distribution channel entered in the sales document are correct and consistent with the plant.

    Additional Information:

    • This error is common when a new plant is created but not yet assigned to the sales org and distribution channel.
    • It can also occur if you are copying a sales document and the plant in the copied document is not valid for the sales org/distribution channel.
    • The error prevents processing of sales documents that would otherwise cause inconsistencies in logistics and sales reporting.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Missing assignment of plant to sales org and distribution channel
    Solution Assign plant to sales org and distribution channel in SPRO (OVX5)
    Transaction to check OVX5 (Assign Plants to Sales Organizations and Distribution Channels)
    Related config path Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Assign Plants to Sales Organizations and Distribution Channels

    If you need, I can guide you step-by-step on how to perform the assignment or check the configuration.
