• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE071 - No target plants selected to create assignments ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE071: No target plants selected to create assignments
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to create assignments (such as source list assignments, quota arrangements, or other procurement-related assignments) but have not selected any target plants in the process. The system requires at least one target plant to be specified to proceed with creating these assignments.
  In other words, the system expects you to define for which plants the assignment should be created, and if none are selected, it throws this error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During the creation or maintenance of source lists or quota arrangements in the SAP MM (Materials Management) module.
  When working with plant-specific procurement data and the system needs to know the target plants for which the assignment applies.
  In scenarios involving mass maintenance or copying assignments where the target plants are not specified.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select Target Plants:
  
  Go back to the selection screen or the relevant step in the transaction.
  Ensure that you select one or more target plants for which the assignment should be created.
  This is usually done by entering plant codes or selecting them from a list.
  
  
  
  Check the Selection Criteria:
  
  Verify that the selection criteria or filters do not exclude all plants inadvertently.
  If you are using a variant or a predefined selection, make sure it includes the necessary plants.
  
  
  
  Review User Input:
  
  If the process is automated or uses a custom program, check the logic that determines the target plants.
  Ensure that the program passes the correct plant data to the assignment creation function.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes or patches address issues related to assignment creation.
  Check SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes if the problem persists despite correct plant selection.

  Transactions involved:  
  
  ME01 (Maintain Source List)  
  MEQ1 (Maintain Quota Arrangement)  
  Other procurement-related transactions where plant-specific assignments are created.
  
  
  
  Configuration:  
  
  Plants must be properly defined in the system (SPRO > Enterprise Structure > Definition > Logistics - General > Define, copy, delete, check plant).
  Ensure that the plants are active and relevant for the material and purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:  
  
  Check for SAP Notes related to source list or quota arrangement errors if the issue is not resolved by selecting plants.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WSD_MESSAGE071 indicates that no target plants were selected when trying to create assignments. To fix it, simply select one or more target plants in the relevant screen or process step before proceeding.
