• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMSMC/FND_WFL035 - Error: supplier &1 not yet created in the sell-side system &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SRMSMC/FND_WFL035 indicates that a supplier (identified by &1) has not yet been created in the sell-side system (identified by &2). This error typically occurs in the context of Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) when there is an attempt to process a transaction involving a supplier that does not exist in the relevant system.
  Cause:
  
  Supplier Not Created: The primary cause of this error is that the supplier has not been created in the sell-side system (e.g., SAP ERP or another connected system).
  Data Synchronization Issues: There may be issues with data synchronization between the SRM system and the sell-side system, leading to discrepancies in supplier data.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the SRM or the sell-side system may not be set up correctly, preventing the recognition of the supplier.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create the Supplier: 
  
  Ensure that the supplier is created in the sell-side system. This can typically be done through the vendor creation transaction (e.g., XK01 in SAP ERP).
  Make sure to enter all necessary details for the supplier, including the supplier number, name, address, and other relevant information.
  
  
  
  Check Data Synchronization:
  
  Verify that the data synchronization processes between the SRM and the sell-side system are functioning correctly. This may involve checking middleware or integration settings if applicable.
  If there are any pending data transfers, ensure they are processed.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in both the SRM and the sell-side system to ensure they are correctly set up to recognize and process suppliers.
  Look into the settings related to supplier management and integration points.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After creating the supplier and ensuring synchronization, test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as XK01 (Create Vendor), XK02 (Change Vendor), and XK03 (Display Vendor) in the SAP ERP system.
  Integration Settings: Review the integration settings between SRM and the ERP system, including any middleware configurations (like SAP PI/PO) that may be involved in data transfer.
  Documentation: Consult SAP documentation or support notes related to supplier management and error handling in SRM for additional guidance.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP's support portal for further assistance.
