Hi

If you have maintained the delivering plant correctly in the material master, then if you are using the same material in your sales order. If your material is maintained for more than one plant, then sales order item view will not show up plant

You need to select material, go to item shipping tab page, and place your cursor on Plant field (blank) and click F4. You will get multiple options, select one and save.

Hope this will help you out !

Hi

Pls check your entries with

Material Master Data

Customer Material Info Record

Customer Master Data

Plant will be populated based on these entries

Plant Determination Rules are as under:

Priority 1: Customer Material Info Record

Priority 2: Customer Master Data

Priority 3: Material Master Data (Here you require to populate the field manually in Sales Order)

Plant determination happens in following steps.

1. Plant is checked on CMIR (customer mater info record) first. If present it is taken precedence over all other following rules.

2. If no plant is present in CMIR then next entry checked is customer master record. Under shipping tab in sales view, delivering plant is present. If the material is present in the delivering plant, at sales order this plant is populated.

3. If no CMIR and Delivering plant on customer master, Plant can be maitained on material master sales view. Sales org 1 view contains delivering plant at material master level. So, this plant is populated at sales order level.

So, in your case if no plant is populated you need to check the master data.

Apart from above three rules, you can have your own source_determination logic using userexits (customization and coding).

Hope this helps.

Please check the sales area of the order and sales area you have selected while viewing customer master. Both should match
