  Cause
  
  Supplier master data issue: The supplier number (&1) referenced in the process does not exist, is blocked, or is not valid for the transaction.

  Solution
  
  
  Check Supplier Master Data:
  
  Verify that the supplier number (&1) exists in the system (transaction XK03).
  Check if the supplier is blocked for purchasing or has any status that prevents selection.
  Ensure the supplier is valid for the relevant purchasing organization and plant.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master and Purchasing Info Records:
  
  Confirm that the material involved has valid purchasing info records linked to the supplier.
  Check source lists and quota arrangements if applicable.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Determination Configuration:
  
  Review the vendor determination procedure and ensure the supplier is included.
  Verify that the supplier is assigned to the correct purchasing group, plant, and purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Check Process-Specific Assignments:
  
  For DSD processes, ensure the supplier is assigned to the correct distribution channel, sales area, or delivery type.
  Verify any custom enhancements or user exits that might influence supplier selection.
  
  
  
  Authorization and Status:
  
  Confirm that the user has the necessary authorizations to select or use the supplier.
