  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY143 - Delivery cycle & is not allowed for plant & ?

    The SAP error message WY143: Delivery cycle & is not allowed for plant & typically occurs in the context of delivery scheduling and shipping processing. Here's a detailed explanation of the cause, solution, and related information:


    Error Message

    WY143: Delivery cycle & is not allowed for plant &

    • The placeholders (&) represent the delivery cycle and the plant code respectively.

    Cause

    This error occurs because the delivery cycle assigned to a customer or sales area is not maintained or allowed for the specified plant in the system. Delivery cycles define the frequency and days on which deliveries are planned for a customer.

    In SAP, delivery cycles are maintained in the customer master or in the shipping data, and they must be valid for the plant from which the goods are being delivered. If the delivery cycle is not assigned or allowed for the plant, the system throws this error during delivery creation or scheduling.


    Where is this maintained?

    • Delivery cycles are maintained in transaction OVL2 (Define Delivery Cycles).
    • The assignment of delivery cycles to plants is maintained in the shipping data of the customer master (transaction VD02 or XD02), under the Shipping tab.
    • Also, delivery cycles can be assigned in the Shipping Point or Route determination configuration.

    Solution

    1. Check the delivery cycle assigned to the customer:

      • Go to customer master data (VD02/XD02).
      • Navigate to the Shipping tab.
      • Check the delivery cycle assigned.
    2. Verify if the delivery cycle is allowed for the plant:

      • Use transaction OVL2 to check the delivery cycle settings.
      • Ensure that the delivery cycle is defined and active.
      • Confirm that the delivery cycle is assigned or allowed for the plant in question.
    3. Assign or correct the delivery cycle for the plant:

      • If the delivery cycle is missing for the plant, assign it accordingly.
      • This might involve updating the customer master shipping data or adjusting the delivery cycle configuration.
    4. Check shipping point determination:

      • Sometimes, the shipping point or route determination might affect delivery cycles.
      • Verify that the shipping point assigned to the plant and customer is correct.
    5. Recreate or adjust the delivery document:

      • After correcting the delivery cycle assignment, try to create the delivery again.

    Additional Notes

    • Delivery cycles are used to optimize delivery scheduling and reduce logistics costs.
    • Incorrect or missing delivery cycle assignments can disrupt delivery planning and cause errors.
    • Always ensure consistency between customer master data, plant data, and delivery cycle configuration.
