  Error Message
  W5081: No purchase order stored in user master under the parameter &
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs when the system expects a purchase order number to be assigned or stored in the user master record under a specific parameter, but it cannot find any purchase order number linked to the user.
  
  In SAP, certain transactions or reports may require a default purchase order number or a set of purchase orders assigned to the user for filtering or authorization purposes.
  The parameter mentioned in the message (represented by &) refers to a specific user parameter or field where the purchase order number should be stored.
  If this parameter is empty or not maintained for the user, the system issues this warning.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  Typically during transaction processing or report execution where the system tries to fetch the purchase order number from the user master data.
  It can happen in purchasing-related transactions or custom programs that rely on user-specific purchase order defaults.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Maintain the Purchase Order Number in User Parameters:
  
  Go to transaction SU3 (Maintain User Profile).
  Navigate to the Parameters tab.
  Check if the parameter mentioned in the message (e.g., EINKBELEG or any other parameter name) is maintained.
  If not, enter the relevant purchase order number(s) as required.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check with your SAP Administrator or Purchasing Team:
  
  Confirm which purchase order number(s) should be assigned to the user.
  Ensure the user has the correct authorizations to access those purchase orders.
  
  
  
  If the parameter is not required:
  
  If the parameter is not mandatory for your process, you may ignore the warning.
  Alternatively, check if the program or transaction can be adjusted to handle empty parameters gracefully.
  
  
  
  Customizing or Development Check:
  
  If this message appears in a custom program, check the code logic that reads the user parameter.
  Ensure proper handling if the parameter is empty.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  User Parameters in SAP: User parameters are used to store default values for fields in transactions or reports, improving user convenience.
  Transaction SU3: Used by users to maintain their own parameters.
  Parameter IDs: These are short codes representing fields in SAP, e.g., EINKBELEG might represent a purchase order number.
  Authorization: Sometimes, the absence of a purchase order in the user master can be due to missing authorizations or incomplete user setup.
