• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WU217 - Prices cannot be activated -> No plant item table created ?

  The SAP error message WU217 ("Prices cannot be activated -> No plant item table created") typically occurs in the context of the Material Management (MM) module, particularly when dealing with pricing conditions in the system. This error indicates that the system is unable to activate pricing conditions because the necessary plant-specific item table has not been created.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Plant Data: The error usually arises when there is no plant-specific data for the material in question. This can happen if the material has not been assigned to a plant or if the plant data has not been maintained correctly.
  Incomplete Master Data: The material master record may be incomplete, lacking the necessary views (like the Purchasing or Sales views) that include plant-specific information.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the pricing procedure or condition records that prevent the creation of the required tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and ensure that the material is assigned to the relevant plant.
  Verify that the necessary views (like Basic Data, Purchasing, Sales, etc.) are maintained for the material.
  
  
  
  Maintain Plant Data:
  
  If the material is not assigned to a plant, you can create or update the material master for the specific plant using transaction code MM01 or MM02.
  Ensure that the plant-specific data is filled out correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Review the condition records for the pricing procedure (transaction code VK11 for creating or VK12 for changing).
  Ensure that the condition records are created for the specific plant and that they are active.
  
  
  
  Recreate Plant Item Table:
  
  If the plant item table is missing, you may need to recreate it. This can sometimes be done by reactivating the pricing conditions or by using specific transactions to regenerate the necessary tables.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to pricing conditions and plant data to ensure that all necessary steps have been followed.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the pricing procedure and related settings are correctly configured.
