  SAP Error Message WX047
  Message Text:
  Acct group for plant profile & uses internal no.assignment, not possible
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to create or assign a plant in SAP with an account group that is configured to use internal number assignment, but the plant profile or the configuration does not allow this combination.
  More specifically:
  
  The account group for the plant master data is set to use internal number assignment (i.e., the system automatically assigns the plant number).
  However, the plant profile or the way you are trying to create the plant expects an external number assignment (i.e., you manually enter the plant number).
  This mismatch causes the system to throw the error because it cannot reconcile the internal number assignment setting with the manual input or the plant profile settings.
