SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PVJ - Messages for PRICAT (cf. VJ)

• Message number: 204

• Message text: ILN determination: No supplier can be determined for ILN &1

What causes this issue?

No supplier number could be determined for the ILN of the message
sender.
The supplier number is determined in two ways:
In table PRICAT_001 (assignment of ILN to supplier and purchasing
group), a supplier number is entered for the ILN of the message sender.
Further processing is carried out using this supplier number.
If a supplier number is not entered for the ILN in the table, the system
attempts to determine the supplier number using the ILN in the supplier
master data. Here, the ILN must only be assigned to one supplier.

System Response

The IDoc is not processed further.

How to fix this error?

Maintain the ILN for the supplier to which the ILN of the message sender
is to be assigned. Ensure that the ILN is uniquely assigned to one
supplier.
or
Include the supplier number in table 'PRICAT_001: Assignment of ILN to
Supplier and Purchasing Group' for the ILN of the message sender. For
this, the supplier must exist in the system, but does not need to have
an ILN assigned in the supplier master data.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
