• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_MODEL002 - Document &1 belongs to other plant ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTI_MODEL002 Document &1 belongs to other plant
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to process or post a document in SAP that is assigned to a different plant than the one currently selected or allowed in the transaction. Essentially, the document you are working with is linked to a plant that does not match the plant context of your current operation.
  For example, if you are trying to post a goods movement, invoice, or production order confirmation for Plant A, but the document you reference belongs to Plant B, SAP will raise this error to prevent cross-plant inconsistencies.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The document number (&1) is associated with a specific plant.
  The transaction or user context is set to a different plant.
  SAP enforces plant consistency to maintain data integrity and avoid posting errors.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Posting goods movements or confirmations in a plant different from the one assigned to the document.
  Trying to reference or change documents across plants without proper cross-plant settings.
  User or transaction default plant differs from the document’s plant.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Plant Assignment of the Document:
  
  Use transaction codes like MB03 (Display Material Document) or CO03 (Display Production Order) to verify the plant assigned to the document number mentioned in the error.
  
  
  
  Ensure Correct Plant Context:
  
  Make sure you are working in the correct plant context in your transaction.
  If you are posting a goods movement or confirmation, ensure the plant entered matches the document’s plant.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Plant in the Transaction:
  
  If possible, change the plant in the transaction to match the document’s plant.
  For example, in goods movement (MIGO), select the correct plant.
  
  
  
  Check User Defaults and Authorizations:
  
  Verify if the user has the correct authorizations for the plant.
  Check user parameters or default plants set in user profiles (SU01).
  
  
  
  Cross-Plant Processing:
  
  If cross-plant processing is intended, ensure that the process supports it and that the system configuration allows cross-plant postings.
  For example, inter-plant stock transfers require specific movement types and configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult with Functional Team:
  
  If the document is incorrectly assigned to a plant, consult with the logistics or production team to correct the document or process.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: WSTI_MODEL
  This message is common in modules like MM (Materials Management), PP (Production Planning), and WM (Warehouse Management).
  The error helps maintain data consistency and prevents posting errors that could affect inventory valuation, production planning, and reporting.
