• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FG154 - No vendors in the set of values entered ?

  The SAP error message FG154 ("No vendors in the set of values entered") typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction or report that requires vendor selection, but the system cannot find any vendors that match the criteria you have specified. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating purchase orders, processing invoices, or running reports related to vendors.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Vendor Selection: The vendor numbers or ranges you entered do not exist in the system.
  Vendor Status: The vendors you are trying to select may be inactive or blocked.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria (e.g., company code, purchasing organization) may not match any existing vendors.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain vendors.
  Data Consistency: There may be inconsistencies in the vendor master data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Vendor Numbers: Verify that the vendor numbers you entered are correct and exist in the system.
  Review Vendor Status: Ensure that the vendors are active and not blocked. You can check this in the vendor master data (transaction code XK03).

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the vendor data. You may need to contact your SAP security team.
  Data Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the vendor master data to identify any issues. This can be done using transaction codes like XK99 or through custom reports.
  Use Wildcards: If applicable, use wildcards in your vendor selection to include a broader range of vendors.
