  Cause

  Common scenarios include:
  
  The vendor master record does not have an address maintained for the specified address number.
  The address number used in the transaction is incorrect or has been deleted.
  Data inconsistencies or incomplete vendor master data.
  Custom programs or interfaces passing an invalid address number.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the VN087 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) or FK03 (Display Vendor Accounting).
  Enter the vendor number and check the address details.
  Verify if the address number referenced in the error exists.
  
  
  
  Maintain or Correct Address:
  
  If the address does not exist, create or maintain the correct address using XK02 (Change Vendor).
  Ensure that the address number used in the transaction matches the one maintained in the vendor master.
  
  
  
  Verify Transaction Data:
  
  Check the transaction or program that triggered the error.
  Confirm that the correct vendor and address number are being used.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Interfaces:
  
  If the error occurs during data upload or custom processing, verify the data being passed.
  Correct the address number in the source data or program logic.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Transaction:

  Vendor addresses in SAP are stored as part of the vendor master record and are essential for correspondence, payment, and tax purposes.
  The address number is usually internal and managed by SAP; users typically maintain addresses via vendor master transactions.
