• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WU109 - Plant group created with default values ?

  The SAP error message WU109, which states "Plant group created with default values," typically occurs when a new plant group is created in the SAP system without specifying all the necessary details or parameters. This message is more of a warning than an error, indicating that the system has used default values for certain fields during the creation process.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Data Entry: When creating a plant group, not all required fields or parameters were filled out, leading the system to use default values.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to allow the creation of plant groups with minimal information, resulting in defaults being applied.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to enter all required data, leading to defaults being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Plant Group Creation Process:
  
  Go back to the transaction where the plant group was created (e.g., transaction code OX17 for plant groups).
  Check the fields that were left blank or filled with default values.
  
  
  
  Complete Required Fields:
  
  Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out with appropriate values. This may include descriptions, plant assignments, and other relevant parameters.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:

  Consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team if changes are needed.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Provide training to users on the importance of filling out all required fields when creating plant groups to avoid reliance on default values.
