error while raising sales order

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have created a make-to-order material with item category group and general item cetegory group 0001.

While raising sales order for that material (make-to-order) item category TAK.

I got a error stating that plant is not assigned to controlling area.

can anyone help me out in this regards.

hi,

you need to assign your company code to the controlling area.

while processing a make to order scenario the sales order is treated as a cost object. so for the settlements to take place, the relevant costs need to be transferred for profitability analysis in COPA. This requires a controlling area against your company code.

Hi Pavan,

1.Please check the assignment settings of your plant in the IMG --> Enterpri sructure.

2. Check the assignment company code to controlling area.

3. Go to OKKP transaction there you maintain the activation detailes of the controlling area.

4.And also check the avialabilty check cofiguration steps with respect to make to order.

I hope it will help you

hi pavan,

pl check this on settlement rule :

The settlement rule consists of the sender and the settlement distribution rule which includes the settlement receiving accounts, distribution factor, settlement type, and validity period. You can change the settlement rule manually.

There are two possibilities for settling sales orders. You can either:

Settle to a business segment

In this case, the settlement rule is determined automatically. You can only use this method of settlement if CO-PA is activated.

Settle to a general ledger account

In this case, you enter the settlement rule and the general ledger account number manually in the sales order.

To change the settlement rule, choose Edit ® Settlement rule.

For more detailed information about settlements and especially about processing settlement rules, see the CO Cost Object Controlling documentation.

Please consult your FI guy so that he can help you configure a settlement profile.

Hi,

The message says that your plant is not assigned to the Controlling Area.

In SPRO transaction, please go to ENTERPISE STRUCTURE -> ASSIGNMENT and assign the plant to the Controlling area.
