  SAP Error Message:
  
  W0CSRS003 – Make an entry in all three fields for purchase item category
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are maintaining or creating a purchase item category in SAP, and you have not filled in all the required three fields that define the purchase item category. The system expects entries in all three key fields to properly configure the purchase item category.
  Typically, the three fields are related to the classification or attributes of the purchase item category, such as:
  
  Item Category Group
  Item Category
  Item Usage (or similar fields depending on the SAP module/version)
  
  If any of these fields are left blank or incomplete, the system issues this warning to ensure data consistency and correct configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this warning:
  
  
  Identify the three required fields for the purchase item category in your SAP customizing screen (usually under Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Purchase Order ? Define Item Categories).
  
  
  Enter valid values in all three fields.  
  
  Make sure none of the fields are left empty.
  Use appropriate values that correspond to your business process and SAP configuration.
  
  
  
  Save the entry after filling all required fields.
  
  
  If you are unsure about the correct values, consult your SAP functional consultant or refer to your organization's SAP configuration documentation.
