• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP656 - Company code for plant &1 does not exist ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WXP656: "Company code for plant &1 does not exist":
  
  Error Message
  WXP656: Company code for plant &1 does not exist
  
  &1 is a placeholder for the plant code in the message.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to find the company code assigned to a particular plant, but no such assignment exists in the system. In SAP, every plant must be assigned to a company code because financial postings related to the plant are done at the company code level.
  In other words:
  
  The plant exists in the system.
  But the plant is not linked to any company code in the configuration.
  When a transaction or process requires the company code for the plant, the system cannot find it and throws this error.
  
  
  Where is this assignment maintained?
  The assignment of plants to company codes is maintained in SPRO under:
  Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics - General -> Assign Plant to Company Code
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check if the plant exists:
  
  Use transaction OX10 to verify the plant master data.
  
  
  
  Check the assignment of the plant to a company code:
  
  Go to transaction OX18 or follow the IMG path:
  
  SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Logistics - General ? Assign Plant to Company Code
  
  
  Verify if the plant in question is assigned to a valid company code.
  
  
  
  Assign the plant to a company code if missing:
  
  If the plant is not assigned, assign it to the correct company code.
  Save the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check company code validity:
  
  Ensure the company code assigned is active and valid.
  Use transaction OBY6 to check company code details.
  
  
  
  After assignment, retry the transaction/process that caused the error.
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This error commonly appears in logistics transactions such as goods movements, purchase orders, or production orders where the system needs to determine the company code for posting financial documents.
  If you have multiple plants and company codes, ensure the correct mapping is maintained to avoid cross-company code inconsistencies.
  Sometimes, this error can also occur if the plant was recently created but the assignment step was missed.
  In some cases, custom developments or interfaces might trigger this error if they expect a company code for a plant that is not assigned.
