• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06747 - One-time supplier not allowed for this transaction ?

  The SAP error message "06747 - One-time supplier not allowed for this transaction" typically occurs when you are trying to process a transaction that involves a one-time vendor (or one-time supplier) in a context where it is not permitted. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating a purchase order, invoice, or other procurement-related transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Transaction Type Restrictions: Certain transaction types in SAP do not allow the use of one-time vendors. For example, some financial transactions or specific purchasing processes may require a regular vendor master record.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may restrict the use of one-time vendors for specific transaction types or in certain company codes.
  Vendor Master Data: The vendor you are trying to use may not be set up correctly or may not meet the criteria for the transaction you are attempting to perform.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Regular Vendor: If the transaction does not allow one-time vendors, you will need to create or select a regular vendor master record instead of using a one-time vendor.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system to see if there are restrictions on using one-time vendors for the specific transaction. This may require access to the SAP configuration settings (transaction codes like SPRO).
  Vendor Master Data: Ensure that the vendor master data is correctly set up. If you need to use a one-time vendor, check if there are any specific settings that need to be adjusted.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific transaction codes to understand the requirements and restrictions regarding vendor types.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME21N (Create Purchase Order), ME51N (Create Purchase Requisition), and MIRO (Enter Incoming Invoice) to understand where the error might occur.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction with the selected vendor type.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific SAP environment and configuration.
