  Error Message
  W5030 Purchase requisition & & does not exist
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs when the system tries to reference a Purchase Requisition (PR) number that does not exist in the database. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  The PR number entered is incorrect or mistyped.
  The PR has been deleted or not yet created.
  The PR number is being referenced in a transaction or report where it is not valid.
  The PR number is being used in a process that expects an existing PR, but the PR is missing or not yet saved.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During creation or processing of Purchase Orders (PO) referencing a PR.
  When trying to display or change a PR that does not exist.
  In custom programs or reports that reference PR numbers.
  During integration processes where PR numbers are passed between modules.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Verify the PR number:
  
  Double-check the Purchase Requisition number entered.
  Ensure there are no typos or missing digits.
  
  
  
  Check PR existence:
  
  Use transaction ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) or ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition) to verify if the PR exists.
  If the PR does not exist, create it first or use a valid PR number.
  
  
  
  Check authorization and status:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorization to view or process the PR.
  Confirm the PR is not deleted or blocked.
  
  
  
  Review the process flow:
  
  If the error occurs during PO creation, ensure the PR has been properly saved and released.
  If the error occurs in a custom program, debug or check the logic to ensure the PR number is correctly fetched and passed.
  
  
  
  Check for data inconsistencies:
  
  Run consistency checks or database queries to confirm the PR exists in tables like EBAN (Purchase Requisition Header).
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address issues related to PR processing errors.
