• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RERAOP053 - Vendor &1 is not a one-time vendor ?

  The SAP error message RERAOP053 indicates that the vendor you are trying to use is not classified as a one-time vendor. This typically occurs in scenarios where a transaction or process expects a one-time vendor but the vendor in question is set up as a regular vendor in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Classification: The vendor you are trying to use is defined as a regular vendor in the vendor master data, which means it has a specific vendor number and is not set up to be treated as a one-time vendor.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are attempting to perform (e.g., creating a purchase order, invoice, etc.) may require a one-time vendor for certain processes, such as when dealing with ad-hoc purchases or payments to individuals or companies that do not have a permanent vendor record.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use a One-Time Vendor: If the transaction requires a one-time vendor, you can create a one-time vendor record. In SAP, this is typically done by using the vendor account group that allows for one-time vendors. You can create a one-time vendor by entering the necessary details in the vendor master data screen and selecting the appropriate account group.
  
  
  Change Vendor Type: If the vendor should be treated as a one-time vendor for your specific transaction, you may need to change the vendor's classification in the vendor master data. However, this should be done with caution and in accordance with your organization's policies.
  
  
  Review Transaction Requirements: Check the specific requirements of the transaction you are trying to perform. If it allows for regular vendors, you may need to adjust your process to use a regular vendor instead.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support or Your SAP Administrator: If you are unsure about how to proceed or if the vendor should indeed be a one-time vendor, consult with your SAP support team or system administrator for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Vendor Master Data: Understanding how vendor master data is structured in SAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the different account groups and their settings.

  XK01: Create Vendor (General)
