  Error Message
  WX521: Plant customer is already assigned to plant &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to assign a plant customer to a plant, but the plant customer is already assigned to another plant in the system. In SAP, a plant customer is a special customer master record that is linked to a plant for purposes such as intercompany billing, delivery, or sales processes.
  The system enforces a one-to-one relationship between a plant customer and a plant. Therefore, if you attempt to assign the same plant customer to multiple plants, the system throws this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During creation or change of plant master data.
  When assigning or changing the plant customer in the plant master or customer master.
  During configuration or master data maintenance in Logistics Execution (LE), Sales and Distribution (SD), or Materials Management (MM).
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check existing assignments:
  
  Verify which plant the plant customer is currently assigned to.
  Use transaction codes like:
  
  XD03 (Display Customer) to check the customer master.
  OX10 (Define Plants) or OVXC (Assign Plant Customer) to check plant assignments.
  
  
  
  
  
  Correct the assignment:
  
  If the plant customer is assigned to the wrong plant, you may need to:
  
  Remove the assignment from the incorrect plant.
  Assign the plant customer to the correct plant.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create a new plant customer:
  
  If you need to assign a plant customer to multiple plants, create separate plant customer master records for each plant.
  Each plant customer must be unique and linked to only one plant.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  Review the configuration in IMG under Logistics Execution or Sales and Distribution to ensure plant customer assignments are correctly maintained.
