  SAP Error Message: WXP667
  Text:
  
  Country key &1 is different from country key &2 (plant &3)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when there is a mismatch between the country key assigned to a particular master data object (such as a vendor, customer, or material) and the country key assigned to the plant or organizational unit involved in the transaction.
  Specifically, the system checks the country key of the master data record against the country key of the plant (or sometimes company code or purchasing organization) and finds that they do not match. This inconsistency can cause issues in processes like purchasing, invoicing, or tax determination, where country-specific rules apply.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When creating or changing purchasing info records, purchase orders, or contracts, the country key of the vendor or material does not match the country key of the plant.
  When the plant master data is assigned to a different country than the vendor or customer.
  When the country key in the vendor master (or customer master) is different from the country key of the plant involved in the transaction.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Country Keys:
  
  Verify the country key of the plant (transaction code: OX10 or SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Definition ? Logistics - General ? Define Plants).
  Verify the country key of the vendor/customer/material master data (transaction codes: XK03 for vendor, XD03 for customer, MM03 for material).
  
  
  
  Align the Country Keys:
  
  If the country key of the plant is correct, update the country key in the vendor/customer master data to match the plant's country key.
  If the vendor/customer is legitimately from a different country, consider whether the plant assignment is correct or if a different plant should be used.
  Sometimes, the business process requires that the country keys match for tax or legal reasons. Confirm with your business or tax department.
  
  
  
  Adjust Master Data or Organizational Assignments:
  
  Change the plant assignment if the plant is incorrectly assigned to a country.
  Change the vendor/customer master data country key if it was entered incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  In some cases, the system may enforce country key consistency via configuration or user exits. Review any custom validations or user exits that might enforce this check.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  This error is a consistency check to ensure compliance with country-specific legal and tax regulations.
  
  
  The message parameters:
  
  &1 = Country key of the master data (e.g., vendor)
  &2 = Country key of the plant
  &3 = Plant code
  
  
  
  If the business scenario requires cross-country transactions, you may need to review the process design or consult with SAP support for possible configuration adjustments.
