• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CBRC_REGCHECK087 - Purchase order &1 does not contain a supplier ?

  The SAP error message CBRC_REGCHECK087 indicates that the purchase order (PO) specified does not contain a supplier. This error typically arises in the context of procurement processes where a supplier is required for the purchase order to be valid.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Supplier Information: The purchase order was created without specifying a supplier, which is mandatory for processing the order.
  Incorrect PO Creation: The PO might have been created incorrectly, or the supplier information was not populated due to a system error or user oversight.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, there may have been issues in transferring supplier information.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that are preventing the supplier information from being saved or displayed correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Purchase Order Details:
  
  Go to the transaction code ME23N (Display Purchase Order) and enter the PO number to check if the supplier information is indeed missing.
  If the supplier is missing, you will need to edit the PO.
  
  
  
  Edit the Purchase Order:
  
  Use transaction code ME22N (Change Purchase Order) to add the supplier information.
  Ensure that the supplier (vendor) is correctly assigned to the PO.
  
  
  
  Verify Vendor Master Data:
  
  Check if the vendor exists in the system and is active. Use transaction code XK03 (Display Vendor) to verify the vendor details.
  If the vendor is not set up, you will need to create it using transaction code XK01 (Create Vendor).
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to purchase orders and vendor assignments.
