  Correct Mapping:
  
  If you are integrating with an external system, verify that the mapping of supplier IDs between the external system and SAP is correct. Ensure that the external supplier ID corresponds to a valid internal supplier ID in SAP.
  
  
  
  Data Transfer Validation:
  
  If the quotation is being created through a data transfer process, check the logs or error messages from the data transfer to identify any issues that may have caused the supplier information to be missing.
