  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB251 No supplier found for expenses-relevant condition &1
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP when the system tries to process an expenses-relevant condition (such as a condition type related to expenses in purchasing or invoice verification) but cannot find a corresponding supplier (vendor) assigned or linked to that condition.
  In other words, the system expects a supplier/vendor to be associated with the condition record for expenses, but none is found. This typically happens during invoice verification or purchase order processing when the condition is expected to be linked to a vendor for correct posting or settlement.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The condition record for the expenses-relevant condition type is maintained without specifying a vendor.
