Dear Subramanyam,

There is no direct assignment for Plant to Contolling Area.

One needs to make assignments:

1. T. Code: OX19 - Company Code to Controlling Area

2. T. Code: OX18 - Plant to Company Code

Best Regards,

Amit

Note: For Information sake only:

T. Code: OX17 - Purchasing Organization to Plant

Other relevant settings, need to be checked:

T. Code: OKKP - Maintain the control indicator for controlling area

Select your controlling area then click on the activate components/controlling indicators which is in the left side, upside, the screen. In the Change view of activate components/controlling indicators : Details screen, there you check the check mark for Sales Orders in the Activate Components tab.

Hi SK

Just check wheather you have maintained the following assignments or not in your enterprise strucutre

OX18 --> Assignment of plant and company code

OX19 --> Assignment of Company Code to your Controlling Area

*OKKP --> Maintaining & activating the controlling area you have defined *

Dear SK

Please ensure that

- in OX18, you have assigned your Plant to your Company Code and

- in OX19, you have assigned Company Code to your Controlling Area

Dear SK

Apart from what Mr.Lakshmipathi has suggested

In SAP plant to company code assignment is a must but companycode to controlling area assignment is not a must

As Mr.Amit rightly pointed out there is no direct assignment between plant and controlling area

If this is a issue on real time FI person has to handle this ticket

If you are practising SAP then you must check when you have created the company code have you copied from the standard and also plant have you copied from the standard plant

Always both these Plant and company code is to be copied from the standard and used everything else you can create on own as new entries because these 2 has a lot of associated tables with them which also gets copied

If you have copied from standard plant this error maynot have occured

In real time company code will be created by FI person and Plant will be created by either MM or PP person
