• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT313 - Function only suitable for customers to whom no plant has been assigned ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WT313 - Function only suitable for customers to whom no plant has been assigned
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to perform a function or transaction that is only valid for customers who do not have any plant assigned to them, but the customer master data you are working with already has one or more plants assigned.
  In SAP, customers can be assigned to one or more plants (e.g., for sales or distribution purposes). Certain functions or processes are designed to work only with customers who are not linked to any plant. If you attempt to execute such a function for a customer with assigned plants, the system throws this error.
  
  When does this typically happen?
  
  When creating or changing customer master data in Sales and Distribution (SD) module.
  When using specific functions or reports that are restricted to customers without plant assignments.
  During configuration or master data maintenance where the system expects customers without plant assignments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Customer Plant Assignments:
  
  Go to the customer master data (transaction XD03 or VD03).
  Check if any plants are assigned to the customer under the relevant sales area or distribution data.
  
  
  
  Remove Plant Assignments (if appropriate):
  
  If the business process requires the customer to have no plant assigned, remove the plant assignments.
  Use transaction XD02 or VD02 to change the customer master and delete the plant assignments.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Function:
  
  If the customer must have plants assigned, do not use the function that is restricted to customers without plants.
  Instead, use the appropriate function or transaction designed for customers with plant assignments.
  
  
  
  Review Business Process:
  
  Confirm with business users or process owners whether the customer should have plants assigned.
  Adjust master data or process accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  Sometimes, this error can be influenced by configuration in the IMG (Implementation Guide).
  Verify if any custom validation or user-exit is enforcing this restriction.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Customer Master Data:
  
  Plants can be assigned to customers in the Sales Area Data or in the Customer-Plant assignment (e.g., in SD or MM integration).
  
  
  Transactions:
  
  XD03 - Display Customer (Sales Area)
  XD02 - Change Customer (Sales Area)
  VD03 - Display Customer (Sales)
  VD02 - Change Customer (Sales)
  
  
  
  SAP Notes / Documentation:

  Summary:
  
  Error WT313 means you are trying to use a function that only applies to customers without any plant assigned.
  Fix: Either remove plant assignments from the customer or use a function suitable for customers with plants.
  Always verify the business requirement before changing master data.
