  Solution:
  
  Check Replication Status: Verify the status of the supplier in the backend system and ensure that it is active and correctly configured for replication.
  Manual Replication: You can manually trigger the replication of the supplier using transaction codes like BBPGETVD or BBP_SUS_REPL in the SRM system.

  Data Consistency Check: Ensure that all required fields for the supplier are filled out correctly and that there are no inconsistencies in the data.
