• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP651 - Different purchasing organizations for planning/plant/distribution center ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message WXP651: Different purchasing organizations for planning/plant/distribution center:
  
  Error Message:
  WXP651 - Different purchasing organizations for planning/plant/distribution center
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when there is a mismatch in the purchasing organization assigned to the planning plant, the plant, or the distribution center in the material planning or procurement process.
  In SAP, the purchasing organization is a key organizational unit responsible for procurement activities. When you perform material requirements planning (MRP) or create purchase requisitions/purchase orders, the system expects the purchasing organization to be consistent across related organizational units such as:
  
  The planning plant (where MRP is run)
  The plant (where the material is stored or consumed)
  The distribution center (if involved in the process)
  
  If these organizational units are assigned to different purchasing organizations, the system cannot determine which purchasing organization to use for procurement, leading to this error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During MRP run (transaction MD01, MD02, etc.)
  When creating purchase requisitions or purchase orders automatically from planning
  When using distribution requirements planning (DRP) or stock transfer planning
  When the material master or plant master data is not aligned with purchasing organization assignments
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Purchasing Organization Assignments:
  
  Verify the purchasing organization assigned to the planning plant.
  
  Use transaction OX18 to check plant-to-purchasing organization assignments.
  
  
  Verify the purchasing organization assigned to the plant where the material is stored or consumed.
  Verify the purchasing organization assigned to the distribution center (if applicable).
  
  
  
  Align Purchasing Organizations:
  
  Ensure that the purchasing organization is consistent across the planning plant, plant, and distribution center.
  If different purchasing organizations are assigned, adjust the assignments so that the same purchasing organization is used for all related units involved in the planning/procurement process.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  In the material master (transaction MM03), check the Purchasing view for the material.
  Ensure that the material is extended to the correct plant and purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  In IMG, under Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Logistics General ? Assign Plant to Purchasing Organization, verify the assignments.
  Also check Material Requirements Planning ? Master Data ? Define MRP Areas if MRP areas are used, to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  If Distribution Center is involved:
  
  Check the assignment of the distribution center to the purchasing organization.
  Make sure the distribution center is assigned to the same purchasing organization as the plant and planning plant.
  
  
  
  Re-run MRP or Procurement Process:
  
  After correcting the assignments, re-run the MRP or procurement process.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in scenarios involving multiple plants, distribution centers, or complex supply chain structures.
  Proper organizational alignment is critical for smooth procurement and planning processes.
  Sometimes, the error can also occur if the system is trying to create a purchase requisition for a plant that is not assigned to the purchasing organization responsible for procurement.
  If you use cross-plant procurement, ensure that the inter-plant purchasing organizations are correctly configured.
