  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_PO_BAPI_PO702 indicates that a desired purchase order (PO) with the specified order number has not been stored in the database. This error typically occurs during the process of creating or updating a purchase order using BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces).
  Causes:
  
  Data Validation Issues: The data being passed to the BAPI may not meet the required validation criteria. This could include missing mandatory fields, incorrect data formats, or invalid values.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the BAPI may not have the necessary authorizations to create or modify purchase orders.
  Database Locking: There may be a lock on the database table that prevents the purchase order from being saved.
  Business Logic Errors: There may be custom business logic or validations implemented in user exits or BAdIs that are preventing the order from being saved.
