• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WX152 - Plant or customer & already exists in company code & ?

  The SAP error message:
  WX152: Plant or customer & already exists in company code &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or assign a plant or customer to a company code, but the combination of the plant/customer and the company code already exists in the system. Essentially, SAP is preventing duplicate entries for the same plant or customer within the same company code.
  
  For plants: The plant you are trying to assign is already assigned to the specified company code.
  For customers: The customer number you are trying to assign or create is already linked to the specified company code.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During master data creation or assignment (e.g., creating a plant or customer master record).
  When assigning a plant to a company code in customizing.
  When creating or assigning a customer to a company code in customer master data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check existing assignments:
  
  Verify if the plant/customer is already assigned to the company code.
  Use transaction codes:
  
  For plants: OX18 (Assign plants to company codes)
  For customers: XD03 (Display customer), check company code data.
  
  
  
  
  
  Avoid duplicate entries:
  
  If the plant/customer is already assigned, no need to create or assign again.
  If you intended to create a new plant/customer, use a different plant/customer number.
  
  
  
  Correct the data entry:
  
  If you mistakenly entered the same plant/customer and company code combination, correct the input.
  
  
  
  If you want to assign the plant/customer to a different company code:
  
  Use the appropriate transaction to assign the plant/customer to the new company code, ensuring no duplicates.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Plants and company codes: In SAP, a plant is assigned to exactly one company code. You cannot assign the same plant to multiple company codes.
  Customers and company codes: A customer can have multiple company code assignments, but each assignment must be unique.
  Transaction codes:
  
  OX18 - Assign plants to company codes
  XD01 - Create customer (company code data)
  XD02 - Change customer
  XD03 - Display customer
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The WX152 error indicates a duplicate assignment of a plant or customer to a company code. To resolve it, verify existing assignments and avoid creating duplicates. Use the appropriate SAP transactions to check and maintain master data assignments correctly.
