  SAP Error Message:
  
  W5003 - There are no error-free items for a requisition
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears during the processing of a purchase requisition (PR) or when trying to convert a PR into a purchase order (PO). It indicates that all items in the requisition have errors or issues, and therefore, there are no items without errors that can be processed further.
  Common causes include:
  
  Incomplete or incorrect data in the requisition items (e.g., missing material number, quantity, delivery date).
  Invalid or missing account assignment information.
  Incorrect or missing purchasing group or plant data.
  Items blocked or flagged for deletion.
  Authorization issues or missing master data (e.g., vendor, material master).
  Configuration or validation errors in the system that prevent item processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the W5003 message, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review the Purchase Requisition Items:
  
  Go to the purchase requisition and check each item for errors.
  Use transaction ME53N (Display PR) or ME52N (Change PR) to inspect the items.
  
  
  
  Check Error Messages for Each Item:
  
  SAP usually provides detailed error messages for individual items.
  Correct the errors such as missing fields, invalid data, or inconsistent information.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Issues:
  
  Ensure all mandatory fields are filled correctly (material, quantity, delivery date, plant, purchasing group).
  Verify account assignment categories and values.
  Check if the material master and vendor master data exist and are valid.
  
  
  
  Remove or Delete Problematic Items:
  
  If certain items cannot be corrected immediately, consider deleting or blocking them to process the rest.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to process the requisition.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Requisition:
  
  After corrections, try to convert the PR to PO or proceed with the intended process again.

  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP OSS Notes for any known bugs or patches related to message W5003.
  Review configuration in MM-PUR (Materials Management - Purchasing) if errors persist.
  
  
  
  Common Scenario:
  
  When using automatic PO creation (ME59N), if all PR items have errors, W5003 is triggered.
  Fixing item-level errors allows successful PO creation.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  W5003 means no items in the purchase requisition are error-free, so none can be processed. The solution is to identify and correct errors in each item or remove problematic items, then retry the process.
