• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WV713 - Explicit reference plant and default assignment indicator have been set ?

  The SAP error message WV713 indicates that there is a conflict between the explicit reference plant and the default assignment indicator in the system. This typically occurs in the context of material requirements planning (MRP) or when dealing with stock transport orders, where the system expects a clear assignment of plants for the materials involved.
  Cause:
  
  Explicit Reference Plant: This means that a specific plant has been designated for a material, but there is a mismatch with the default assignment indicator.
  Default Assignment Indicator: This is a setting that determines how the system should assign plants for materials. If this indicator is set to a value that conflicts with the explicit reference plant, the error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the material master or the MRP settings that lead to this conflict.
  Data Inconsistencies: Inconsistent or incorrect data in the material master records or in the configuration settings can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the affected materials. Ensure that the reference plant and the default assignment indicator are correctly set and do not conflict.
  Adjust Default Assignment Indicator: If the explicit reference plant is necessary, consider adjusting the default assignment indicator to align with the explicit reference plant.
  Review MRP Settings: Check the MRP settings in the configuration to ensure that they are set up correctly and do not lead to conflicts.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the configuration of plants and MRP settings.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the system behaves as expected.
