This error often arises during transactions that involve vendor data, such as creating or updating purchase orders, invoices, or vendor master records.
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Not Assigned to Company Code: The vendor (in this case, Supplier 13) is not assigned to the specified company code (01). In SAP, each vendor must be linked to the relevant company codes to ensure proper accounting and reporting.
  Incorrect Vendor Data: The vendor master data may not be correctly set up for the specified company code.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to the transaction code XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor - Purchasing).
  Enter the vendor number (Supplier 13) and check if it is assigned to company code 01.
  If it is not assigned, you will need to create or update the vendor master data.
  
  
  
  Create/Update Vendor Master:
  
  If the vendor is not assigned to the company code, use transaction code XK01 (Create Vendor) or XK02 (Change Vendor) to add the vendor to the company code.
