• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL140 - No master record exists for supplier & ?

  The SAP error message VL140 ("No master record exists for supplier &") typically occurs when you are trying to process a transaction related to a supplier (vendor) in the SAP system, but the system cannot find the corresponding master record for that supplier. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating a purchase order, goods receipt, or delivery.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Vendor Master Record: The most common cause is that the vendor master record has not been created in the system.
  Incorrect Vendor Number: The vendor number you are using may be incorrect or does not exist in the system.

  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing information in the vendor master record.
  Inactive Vendor: The vendor may be marked as inactive or blocked in the system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Create Vendor Master Record: If the vendor does not exist, you need to create a new vendor master record using transaction code XK01 (or MK01 for purchasing data).
  Check Vendor Number: Verify that you are using the correct vendor number. You can check existing vendors using transaction code XK03 (or MK03 for purchasing data).
  Extend Vendor Master Record: If the vendor exists but is not extended to the relevant purchasing organization or company code, you can extend it using transaction code XK02 (or MK02 for purchasing data).
  Review Vendor Status: Check if the vendor is active and not blocked. You can do this in the vendor master record.
  Data Consistency Check: Ensure that all required fields in the vendor master record are filled out correctly and that there are no inconsistencies.
