• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FLBP301 - Internal number assignment has been set for the vendor ?

  The SAP error message FLBP301 indicates that the internal number assignment has been set for the vendor in question. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a vendor master record, and the system is configured to use internal number assignment for vendor IDs.
  
  Cause:
  
  Internal Number Assignment: The vendor master record is set to use internal number assignment, meaning that the system automatically generates the vendor number rather than allowing users to input a custom number.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the vendor master data may not allow for external number assignment, which can lead to this error if a user attempts to enter a vendor number manually.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Number Assignment:
  
  Go to the vendor master data configuration (Transaction Code: OXK1 or OXK2).
  Verify the number assignment settings for the vendor account group. Ensure that it is set to "Internal" if you want the system to generate the number automatically.
