• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB313 - Address number & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message FB313 ("Address number & does not exist") typically occurs when you are trying to process a transaction related to a vendor or customer, and the system cannot find the address number associated with that entity. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating or modifying vendor/customer master data, or during invoice processing.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Address Data: The address number you are trying to use does not exist in the database. This could be due to data entry errors or the address not being created in the system.
  Data Deletion: The address number may have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for current transactions.

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access the address data.

  Check Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for vendor/customer master data are correct. This may involve checking the settings in the relevant customizing transactions (e.g., SPRO).
