    Error Message

    WG048 - No supply source could be determined for mat. no. &


    Cause

    This error occurs when the system tries to determine a supply source for a material during a goods movement or production process (e.g., during a goods issue, production order component assignment, or stock transfer), but it cannot find any valid source of supply for the material in the specified plant or storage location.

    Common reasons include:

    • The material master does not have a valid source of supply (e.g., no stock, no planned orders, no purchase orders, no production orders).
    • The material is not extended to the plant or storage location.
    • The stock is not available or not assigned to the relevant storage location.
    • The MRP (Material Requirements Planning) run has not been executed or has not generated procurement proposals.
    • The supply area or source list is not maintained or is incomplete.
    • The special procurement key or stock determination settings are missing or incorrect.
    • The stock determination strategy or rules are not defined or do not cover the material.

    Solution

    To resolve the WG048 error, perform the following checks and actions:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Verify that the material is extended to the plant and storage location where the movement is being posted.
      • Check the MRP type and procurement type in the material master (MM02).
      • Ensure that the material is flagged for procurement if required.
    2. Check Stock Availability:

      • Use transaction MMBE to check stock availability for the material in the relevant plant/storage location.
      • If stock is not available, check if procurement proposals exist.
    3. Run MRP:

      • Execute MRP (transaction MD01 or MD02) for the material and plant to generate procurement proposals (planned orders, purchase requisitions).
      • After MRP run, check if procurement proposals exist.
    4. Check Source List:

      • Use transaction ME01 to check if a source list exists for the material and plant.
      • If source list is mandatory, ensure it is maintained and valid.
    5. Check Special Procurement and Stock Determination:

      • Verify if special procurement keys are assigned and correctly configured.
      • Check stock determination settings in customizing (SPRO) under Logistics Execution or Production.
    6. Check Production Orders or Purchase Orders:

      • If the supply source is expected from production or purchase orders, verify that these documents exist and are valid.
    7. Check Movement Type and Process:

      • Ensure that the movement type used is correct and allows the system to determine the supply source.
