• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE062 - Werks field should not be specified (implicit) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSD_MESSAGE062 – "Werks field should not be specified (implicit)"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the Werks (Plant) field is provided explicitly in a context where it is expected to be determined implicitly by the system. In other words, the process or function module you are using expects the plant to be derived automatically based on other data or configuration, and supplying it manually causes a conflict.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  When creating or updating documents or master data where the plant is derived from other fields (e.g., sales organization, distribution channel, or material master).
  When using certain BAPIs or function modules that do not require the plant to be passed explicitly because it is fetched internally.
  In workflows or custom code where the plant is set implicitly, but the input data includes an explicit plant value.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Do not specify the Werks (Plant) field explicitly in the input data or parameters if the process expects it to be implicit.
  Review the interface, BAPI, or transaction documentation to confirm whether the plant should be passed explicitly or not.
  If you are developing custom code or enhancements, remove the assignment or input of the plant field where it is not required.
  If the plant must be specified, check if you are using the correct function module or method that allows explicit plant input.
  Validate the master data and configuration to ensure that the plant can be derived correctly from other fields.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Werks (Plant) is a key organizational unit in SAP logistics, representing a manufacturing location, warehouse, or distribution center.
  Many SAP processes derive the plant implicitly from other organizational data to avoid inconsistencies.
  This error is often encountered in SD (Sales and Distribution), MM (Materials Management), or PP (Production Planning) modules.
  Check SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific transaction or BAPI you are using for detailed guidance.
  Example: In sales order processing, the plant might be derived from the shipping point or material master, so explicitly entering it in certain fields can cause this error.
  
  
  If you provide the exact transaction, BAPI, or context where this error occurs, I can help with more specific guidance.
