supplier
or
Release the supplier number in the table 'PRICAT_001: ILN assignment to
supplier and purchasing group' for the ILN output sender. This supplier
must be available in the system but does not need an ILN assignment in
the master data.

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