  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP509 - Your supply source determination cannot be used for MAP allocation tables ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WXP509 - Your supply source determination cannot be used for MAP allocation tables


    Cause

    This warning message occurs during the configuration or execution of supply source determination in SAP, specifically when the system detects that the supply source determination procedure assigned is not compatible with MAP (Material Allocation Planning) allocation tables.

    • MAP allocation tables require a specific type of supply source determination procedure.
    • The procedure assigned to the material or plant does not support MAP allocation.
    • This incompatibility can arise if a standard or custom supply source determination procedure is assigned that is not designed for MAP.

    Explanation

    • Supply source determination is a process in SAP that identifies the source of supply for a material requirement.
    • MAP (Material Allocation Planning) is used in advanced planning scenarios to allocate materials to demands.
    • MAP allocation tables rely on supply source determination procedures that support allocation logic.
    • If the assigned procedure is not suitable, the system issues WXP509 to warn that the current setup cannot be used for MAP allocation.

    Solution

    1. Check the Supply Source Determination Procedure:

      • Go to the configuration for supply source determination (transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Define Supply Source Determination).
      • Verify the procedure assigned to the material/plant.
    2. Use a MAP-Compatible Procedure:

      • Assign a supply source determination procedure that supports MAP allocation.
      • SAP provides standard procedures designed for MAP; use one of these or create a custom procedure based on them.
    3. Adjust Material Master or Plant Settings:

      • Ensure that the material master data and plant settings are consistent with the MAP planning requirements.
      • Check the MRP type and other relevant fields.
    4. Consult SAP Notes and Documentation:

      • Review SAP Notes related to WXP509 for any patches or updates.
      • Check SAP Help Portal for detailed configuration steps for MAP and supply source determination.
