• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE072 - No close-by plants selected to delete assignments ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSD_MESSAGE072 No close-by plants selected to delete assignments
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you attempt to delete assignments related to plants, but no plants have been selected as "close-by" plants for the deletion process. In other words, the system expects you to select one or more plants that are considered "close-by" (usually in the context of inter-plant relationships or plant assignments), but none were chosen before executing the delete operation.
  This typically happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Plant assignments in Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Deleting or modifying plant relationships or assignments where the system requires you to specify which plants are involved.
  Master data maintenance where plant relationships are managed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select Close-by Plants:
  
  Before attempting to delete the assignments, ensure that you select the relevant close-by plants in the selection screen or the relevant UI. The system requires this to know which plant assignments to delete.
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the selection criteria or input parameters in the transaction or program you are using. Make sure that the plants you want to delete assignments for are properly entered or selected.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction/Process:
  
  Verify that you are using the correct transaction or process for deleting plant assignments. Some processes require explicit selection of plants, while others might handle it differently.
  
  
  Consult Documentation or SAP Notes:
  
  If the issue persists, check SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific module or transaction you are working with. Sometimes, this error can be due to missing configuration or authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
