SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WRF_APC - Messages for Operational Assortment Planning and Control

• Message number: 744

• Message text: Purchasing organization(s) not allowed for distribution chain &1/&2

What causes this issue?

Sales price calculation can only be carried out successfully when the
system can determine a valid purchasing price.
For distribution chain &V1&/&V2&, a valid purchasing price means a price
created for one of the purchasing organizations assigned to reference
plant &V3& (in other words: for one of the "allowed" purchasing
organizations for this distribution chain).
<ZK>Example: </> When you create purchasing prices for planned materials
in a purchasing list, these prices are created in the purchasing
organization to which the purchasing list is assigned. During planned
material release, the system tries to find a purchasing price for the
planned material in one of the "allowed" purchasing organizations. This
message is sent if the system could not find such a purchasing price.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If this message appears during planned material release, verify the
organizational assignment of the purchasing lists to which the planned
material is assigned.
Ideally, assign a purchasing organization/distribution chain to a
purchasing list in such a way that the purchasing organization is
"allowed" for the distribution chain. This means it is one of the
purchasing organizations assigned to the reference plant of the
distribution chain.
If reference plant &V3& and the purchasing organizations where prices
exist belong to different company codes, pay special attention to the
organizational assignment of your purchasing lists. A cross-company
process might not be what you intended to carry out.
Company code assignment: &V4&
Another option is to verify the purchasing organizations assigned to the
reference plant &V3& in Customizing: <DS:SIMG.SIMG_CFMENUSAPCOX17>Assign
purchasing organization to plant</>. Add the corresponding purchasing
organization if you need to do a planning for this combination of
purchasing organization/distribution chain.

  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC744 Purchasing organization(s) not allowed for distribution chain &1/&2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the purchasing organization assigned to a particular distribution chain is not allowed or not maintained in the system. In SAP, distribution chains are linked to specific purchasing organizations to control procurement processes. If the purchasing organization used in a transaction or master data is not assigned or permitted for the distribution chain, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Distribution Chain: A combination of sales organization and distribution channel.
  Purchasing Organization: An organizational unit responsible for procurement activities.
  The system checks whether the purchasing organization is valid for the distribution chain during processes like creating purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or material master data maintenance.
  If the purchasing organization is not assigned or allowed for the distribution chain, the system blocks the process and issues this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the assignment of Purchasing Organization to Distribution Chain:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Logistics - General ? Assign Purchasing Organization to Distribution Chain.
  Verify if the purchasing organization is assigned to the distribution chain mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Assign the Purchasing Organization to the Distribution Chain:

  Sometimes, the distribution chain might be incorrectly maintained or missing in the system.
  Verify the distribution chain configuration under Sales and Distribution (SD) module.
