  SAP Error Message:
  WSTI_MODEL014
  
  Text: Document &1 belongs to other plant than &2 (Refresh necessary)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to process or display a document (such as a production order, reservation, or material document) in a plant context that does not match the plant assigned to the document. In other words, the document you are working with is linked to a different plant than the one currently selected or expected in the system.
  This situation often arises in scenarios involving:
  
  Work Scheduling or Production Planning where the plant context is critical.
  Cross-plant processing where the user or transaction is set to a different plant than the document.
  Data caching or buffer issues where the system has outdated plant information for the document.
  User interface or transaction screens that have not refreshed the plant context after a change.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  The placeholder &1 represents the document number.
  The placeholder &2 represents the plant currently selected or expected.
  The system detects a mismatch and prompts that a refresh is necessary to synchronize the plant context.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Refresh the Screen or Transaction:
  
  Often, simply refreshing the transaction or screen will reload the correct plant data.
  Use the refresh button or exit and re-enter the transaction.
  
  
  
  Check Plant Selection:
  
  Verify that the plant selected in the transaction matches the plant assigned to the document.
  If you are working in a multi-plant environment, ensure you have selected the correct plant before processing the document.
  
  
  
  Clear Buffer or Cache:
  
  Sometimes, the system buffer or local cache holds outdated data.
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locked entries or SM13 for update errors.
  You may also try logging out and logging back in to clear session data.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Plant Assignment:
  
  Check the document master data to confirm which plant it belongs to.
  If the document is incorrectly assigned, it may need correction or re-creation.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has authorization to access the plant to which the document belongs.
  
  
  
  Technical Note / OSS Note:
  
  If the problem persists, check SAP Notes for any known bugs or patches related to this error message.

  Summary:
  The error WSTI_MODEL014 indicates a mismatch between the plant assigned to a document and the plant context currently active in the system.
