• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN069 - Site &1 is not a distribution center ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTRN069 Site &1 is not a distribution center
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a site (plant) that is expected to be a distribution center in the SAP system is not defined or flagged as such. Typically, this happens in the context of Warehouse Management (WM), Inventory Management (IM), or Transportation Management (TM) processes where the system expects the site to be a distribution center but finds that it is not set up accordingly.
  For example, during transportation planning, shipment processing, or stock transfer scenarios, the system checks whether the site involved is a distribution center. If the site is not marked as a distribution center in the system, the error WSTRN069 is triggered.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The placeholder &1 in the message will be replaced by the site (plant) code that caused the error.
  A distribution center in SAP is a site that is configured to handle distribution activities such as shipping, receiving, and stock transfers.
  The system expects the site to be a distribution center because certain processes (like shipment creation or transportation planning) require the site to have this role.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Site Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Define Shipping Points and Shipping Conditions.
  Verify if the site (plant) is assigned as a distribution center.
  
  
  
  Mark the Site as a Distribution Center:
  
  In Logistics Execution or Transportation Management customizing, ensure the site is flagged as a distribution center.
  For example, in Transportation Management (TM), check the site master data and mark the site as a distribution center.
  
  
  
  Check Plant Master Data:
  
  Use transaction OX10 or SPRO path to check plant settings.
  Ensure the plant is assigned to the correct distribution chain or shipping point.
  
  
  
  Check Warehouse Number Assignment:
  
  If WM is involved, ensure the plant is assigned to a warehouse number that is configured as a distribution center.
  
  
  
  Review Transportation Planning Settings:
  
  In TM, check the site roles and ensure the site is assigned the role of distribution center.
  
  
  
  If the site should not be a distribution center:
  
  Adjust the process or master data to use the correct site that is a distribution center.
  Review the business process to ensure the correct site is used in shipment or transportation documents.
