  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WX069 - Allocation of plant number & is not defined ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WX069 - Allocation of plant number & is not defined


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to process a transaction or configuration that involves a plant number which has not been properly assigned or defined in the relevant organizational structure or customizing settings. Essentially, the plant number referenced in the process is missing from the allocation or assignment tables where it should be linked to other organizational units such as company codes, sales organizations, or controlling areas.

    Common scenarios include:

    • The plant is not assigned to the company code in Enterprise Structure.
    • The plant is not assigned to the sales organization or distribution channel.
    • Missing or incorrect configuration in IMG (Implementation Guide) related to plant assignments.
    • Attempting to use a plant number that does not exist or is inactive.

    Solution:

    1. Check Plant Master Data:

      • Verify that the plant number exists and is active in transaction OX10 (Define Plants).
    2. Assign Plant to Company Code:

      • Go to transaction OX18 or via IMG path: Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics - General -> Assign plant to company code
      • Ensure the plant is assigned to the correct company code.
    3. Assign Plant to Sales Organization:

      • Via IMG path: Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Assign plant to sales organization and distribution channel
      • Make sure the plant is assigned to the relevant sales organization and distribution channel.
    4. Check Controlling Area Assignment:

      • If controlling is involved, ensure the plant is assigned to the controlling area in OKKP.
    5. Review Customizing Settings:

      • Check all relevant IMG settings where plant assignments are required.
      • For example, in Materials Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), or Production Planning (PP) modules.
    6. Data Consistency:

      • If the plant was recently created or changed, ensure all related master data and assignments are consistent.
      • Run consistency checks if available.
    7. Transport and System Issues:

      • If the plant assignment was done in a development system but not transported to production, ensure transports are properly moved.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • OX10 - Define Plants
      • OX18 - Assign Plant to Company Code
      • SPRO - Access to IMG for configuration
      • OVX5 - Assign Plant to Sales Organization and Distribution Channel
    • IMG Paths:

      • Enterprise Structure ? Definition ? Logistics - General ? Define Plant
      • Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Logistics - General ? Assign Plant to Company Code
      • Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Sales and Distribution ? Assign Plant to Sales Organization and Distribution Channel
    • Notes:

      • Always ensure organizational units are properly linked before using them in transactions.
      • This error is common during initial system setup or when adding new plants.
      • Check authorization if the user is unable to see or assign plants.

    Summary:
    The WX069 error indicates that the plant number used in a transaction or configuration is not assigned or defined in the system's organizational structure. The solution is to verify and assign the plant to the relevant company code, sales organization, and other organizational units via the SAP IMG customizing settings.
