• Message number: 267

• Message text: Sales area &1/&2/&3 determined for supplying plant &4 using rule '01'.

What causes this issue?

Internal vendor (<DS:DE.BEWRK>supplying plant</>) &V4& was determined
for this pricing item. The value ' ' is entered as the
<DS:DE.VTBFI>rule for sales area determination</> for
<DS:GLOS.3526BED5AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>stock transfers</> in the
master data for this vendor. The
<DS:GLOS.3526C801AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>sales area</> for the
supplying plant, however, is not valid due to the customer data for
this organizational level. So that you can carry out a price
calculation in spite of this, the sales area &V1&/&V2&/&V3& was
determined using rule '01' for sales area determination in accordance
with an access logic instead.

System Response

The system calculates prices using the sales area determined as an
alternative. In the case of stock transfer orders, however, this
situation usually leads to an error.

How to fix this error?

Decide whether to accept the price calculation with the alternative
sales area for determining sales prices. Alternatively, check the
master data for the sales area determination for the supplying plant or
the customer data in the receiving plant (for distribution chain and
price list calculation, this is the <DS:DE.VLGWK>reference plant</>).

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
