Error to create sales order (error 8B 213)

[henrique_almeida1]

Our company is trying to place an intercompany Sales Order for Brazil Sales Org. against an US plant. The system is returning an error related to Business Plant and Plant. 

Business place not found for company XXXX plant XXXX

Message no. 8B213

Other company codes are already working with this format of Sales order. The problem occur only for Brazil. At the configuration in SAP for Plant and Business Place there is no option to include a new entry. In configuration the only option is to change the entries that are already there.

Hi @henrique_almeida1,

You are unable to assign the business place to the plant, because it is located in the US, and the business place functionality is not activated for this country. 

The message 8B213 can be customized, please check SAP note  1388348 - Allow customizing of message 8B213 

Best regards

Hello @henrique_almeida1 

Business places can be defined in the SPRO path: Logistics - General -> Tax on Goods Movements -> Brazil -> CNPJ Business Places -> Define Business Places for Brazil.

Best regards

Hello Henrique, hope you're good!

I tried to open your screenshots but I couldn't see it clearly because it was just too small - maybe the problem is in my computer! (or just me! 😁)

Anyway, it would be good if you could elaborate a little bit more - in details - about how you're executing your business process in your ERP and its current version - since some business processes are available for certain versions and localizations, while others not. I'm asking these questions because very often the problem reported goes way beyond the error message.

What I can tell you right now is that we have Best Practices for such scenario and you shouldn't be receiving such error message if all configurations & the process itself is being followed properly. The latest one released by SAP was the Advanced Intercompany Sales in SAP S/4HANA and you can find some links in this hyperlink that are very useful. At the same time, we have the SAP HELP Portal that talks about it as well. Advanced Intercompany Sales | SAP Help Portal.

Depending on your business requirement, you can make adaptations on this process to make it work for your company - I had to do it for a customer in Brazil that requested to implement the Advanced Intercompany Stock Transfer in their S/4HANA and also had inbound delivery handling and apparently there's a standard code that affects the goods receipt and triggers and error.

Also, if I were you I would take a look in this really good topic about intercompany in Brazil:

Nota Fiscal for intercompany stock in transit move... - SAP Community

Restrictions to this business process: 3192584 - SAP S/4HANA Cloud: Restrictions and General Information for Advanced Intercompany Sales - ...

Please, let me know if any of it really helps you!

Thanks for everyone else that contributed to this topic.
