Error while creating make -to -order

[Former Member]

Respected Gurus,

I am a frequent vistor of this forum, and find it very helpful. I am studying SD processes, and came across error which is not posted on the forum.

While configuring Make-to-order process,

1) I have defined and assigned controlling area for my company code.

2) In MM01 I created material master with required fields such as item category group ( 0001 - make-to-order)

3) In VA01 I have raised an order with my material, and in the sales header>Procurement> Requirement field changed to KE.

Now I get an error : Plant xxxx is not assigned to controlling area.

Could you please guide me.

Regards

Kindly check whether Plant is assigned to Company Code as there is no such direct assignment between Plant to Controlling Area.

Also check in Material Master , there should be no MRP type in case of Req. Type as "KE" as it is determined through Item Category & MRP Type.

Thanks for the reply.

I checked assignment of the plant to the company code, and also MRP type. Both of them are as per your suggestion.

Not sure how, but the error i mentioned disappeared today, except another one related to FBN1.

I have been able to process MIRO , Invoice and generate the accounting document.

In the VA02 document flow...status of the accounting document is " Not cleared", how to go about it.

Also if you could look in to another question I posted regarding reconcillation account, would appreciate.

Regards

Trupti.
