    SAP Error Message:

    WSD_MESSAGE102: Purchasing organization & not responsible for plant &


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to assign or use a Purchasing Organization that is not assigned or responsible for the specified Plant in the system. In SAP, each Purchasing Organization must be linked to one or more Plants to handle procurement activities for those Plants. If this link is missing or incorrect, the system throws this error.


    Explanation:

    • The Purchasing Organization is an organizational unit that procures materials or services.
    • The Plant is the location where materials are produced or stored.
    • For procurement processes to work correctly, the Purchasing Organization must be assigned to the Plant.
    • If you try to create or process a purchasing document (like a Purchase Order or Purchase Requisition) where the Purchasing Organization is not responsible for the Plant, SAP will block the transaction with this error.

    How to Check:

    1. Check the assignment of Purchasing Organization to Plant:
      • Transaction Code: OX18
      • Path: SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Logistics General ? Assign Plant to Purchasing Organization
    2. Verify if the Purchasing Organization is assigned to the Plant in question.

    Solution:

    1. Assign the Purchasing Organization to the Plant:
      • Go to transaction OX18.
      • Assign the relevant Purchasing Organization to the Plant.
      • Save the configuration.
    2. If the assignment is already done, verify that the correct Purchasing Organization and Plant are used in the transaction.
    3. If you are using a custom or new Purchasing Organization, ensure it is properly configured and assigned.
    4. After making the assignment, retry the transaction.

    Additional Notes:

    • This assignment is crucial for procurement processes such as Purchase Requisitions, Purchase Orders, and Contracts.
    • The error can also occur during automatic document creation or integration scenarios if the master data is inconsistent.
    • Always ensure organizational data consistency to avoid such errors.
