  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTI_CALC059 Unable to determine POS outbound profile for plant &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Retail when the system tries to determine the Point of Sale (POS) outbound profile for a specific plant but fails to find a valid configuration. The POS outbound profile is essential for defining how data (such as sales or inventory information) is sent from the backend system to the POS system.
  The main reasons for this error are:
  
  The POS outbound profile is not maintained or assigned for the plant in question.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in the POS outbound profile customizing.
  The plant is not linked properly to the distribution channel or sales organization that is used in the POS profile determination.
  Missing or incorrect assignment in the relevant customizing tables (e.g., POS outbound profile assignment to plant).
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check POS Outbound Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? SAP Reference IMG ? Retail ? Basic Functions ? POS Interface ? Outbound Interface ? Define POS Outbound Profiles.
  Verify that a POS outbound profile exists and is correctly configured for the plant.
  
  
  
  Assign POS Outbound Profile to Plant:
  
  In the customizing path, assign the POS outbound profile to the relevant plant.
  This is usually done in the IMG under Retail ? Basic Functions ? POS Interface ? Outbound Interface ? Assign POS Outbound Profile to Plant.
  Ensure the plant &1 (the plant number from the error message) has a valid POS outbound profile assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Plant Master Data:
  
  Verify that the plant is correctly maintained in the system and linked to the correct sales organization and distribution channel.
  Use transaction OX10 to check plant details.
  Use transaction OVX5 to check the assignment of plants to sales organizations and distribution channels.
  
  
  
  Check Distribution Channel and Sales Organization:
  
  Ensure that the plant is assigned to the correct sales organization and distribution channel that is used in the POS outbound profile determination.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  After making the necessary configuration changes, re-run the process that triggered the error to confirm the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Summary:
  The error WSTI_CALC059 indicates missing or incorrect POS outbound profile assignment for a plant. Correcting the POS outbound profile configuration and ensuring proper assignment to the plant resolves the issue. Always verify the plant’s linkage to sales organizations and distribution channels as part of the troubleshooting.
