  SAP Error Message: W0CSRS004
  Text:
  
  Make an entry in all three fields for pur. doc. item cat. or none at all
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs during the creation or processing of purchasing documents (such as purchase orders or contracts) when the system detects that the user has entered data in some, but not all, of the three related fields for the purchase document item category. The system expects either:
  
  All three related fields to be filled in consistently, or
  None of them to be filled (left blank).
  
  If only one or two of these fields are filled, the system cannot correctly determine the item category, leading to this warning.
  The three fields typically involved are related to the purchase document item category settings, which control how the item behaves in the purchasing process (e.g., standard item, subcontracting, consignment, etc.).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the three related fields for the purchase document item category on the item level in the purchasing document.
  Either fill in all three fields completely and correctly, ensuring consistency, or leave all three fields blank.
  Avoid partial entries where only one or two fields are filled.
  If unsure about the correct values, consult your purchasing process documentation or SAP configuration team to understand the correct item category settings for your scenario.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  The purchase document item category controls important behaviors such as account assignment, delivery scheduling, and item processing.
  This message is a warning (W), so it may not stop the document from being saved, but it indicates potential inconsistencies that could cause issues downstream.
  Typical fields involved might include:
  
  Item category
  Item category group
  Account assignment category
  
  
  This message is often encountered in custom or complex purchasing scenarios where item categories are manually maintained or customized.
  Refer to SAP Help or your organization's SAP purchasing process documentation for detailed explanations of item categories.
