• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LR126 - Vendor &1 in infotype does not match vendor in purchase order &2 ?

  The SAP error message LR126 indicates that there is a mismatch between the vendor specified in a particular infotype (usually related to a vendor master record) and the vendor specified in a purchase order. This error typically occurs during processes such as creating or changing purchase orders, or when trying to post goods receipts or invoices against a purchase order.
  Cause:
  
  
  Vendor Mismatch: The vendor in the infotype (e.g., vendor master data) does not match the vendor in the purchase order. This can happen if:
  
  The vendor master data has been changed after the purchase order was created.
  The wrong vendor was selected when creating the purchase order.
  There are multiple vendor records for the same vendor, and the wrong one is being referenced.
  
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the vendor master and the purchase order, such as:
  
  Different purchasing organizations or company codes.
  Different vendor accounts for the same vendor.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Vendor Information: Check the vendor master data and the purchase order to ensure that they match. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the vendor master record (transaction code XK03 or MK03) and checking the details.
  Reviewing the purchase order (transaction code ME23N) to confirm the vendor.
  
  
  
  Correct the Purchase Order: If the vendor in the purchase order is incorrect, you may need to change the purchase order to reflect the correct vendor. This can be done using transaction code ME22N.
  
  
  Update Vendor Master Data: If the vendor master data is outdated or incorrect, update it accordingly. Ensure that the correct purchasing organization and company code are assigned.
  
  
  Check for Multiple Vendor Records: If there are multiple records for the same vendor, ensure that the correct one is being used in both the vendor master and the purchase order.
