  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR502 - No info blocks exist. Please enter them. ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VR502 - No info blocks exist. Please enter them.


    Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP when you are trying to create or process a vendor master record (or related transaction) and the system expects certain info blocks (vendor master data segments) to be present, but none have been maintained yet.

    Info blocks in SAP Vendor Master are data segments that store specific information about the vendor, such as:

    • Address
    • Control data
    • Payment transactions
    • Purchasing data
    • Accounting data

    If these info blocks are missing or not maintained for the vendor in the relevant company code or purchasing organization, the system throws this error.


    When does it occur?

    • During vendor master creation or change (transaction codes like XK01, XK02, FK01, FK02, MK01, MK02).
    • When the system expects info blocks for a vendor but none exist.
    • Possibly during invoice processing or purchase order creation if vendor master data is incomplete.

    Solution:

    1. Maintain the required info blocks:

      • Go to vendor master maintenance transaction (e.g., XK02).
      • Enter the vendor number and company code or purchasing organization.
      • Maintain the missing info blocks such as Address, Purchasing Data, Accounting Data, etc.
      • Save the data.
    2. Check vendor master data completeness:

      • Ensure that all mandatory info blocks required by your business process or configuration are maintained.
      • For example, if you are processing purchasing documents, the Purchasing Data info block must be maintained.
      • For accounting or payment processing, the Accounting Data info block must be maintained.
    3. Verify configuration:

      • Check if the vendor account group requires certain info blocks.
      • Check if the vendor master data is correctly assigned to the company code or purchasing organization.
    4. If the error occurs during a specific transaction:

      • Review the transaction and ensure the vendor master data is complete for the relevant organizational levels.

    Additional Information:

    • Info blocks are sometimes called vendor master segments.
    • Vendor master data is divided into:
      • General data (client level)
      • Company code data (accounting)
      • Purchasing data (purchasing organization level)
    • Missing info blocks can cause errors in procurement, invoice verification, and payment processes.
    • Use transaction XK03 to display vendor master data and check which info blocks exist.
    • Use transaction XK01 or XK02 to create or change vendor master data and add missing info blocks.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error VR502 - No info blocks exist. Please enter them.
