• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG125 - Error in sourcing. No supplier found. Material & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG125 - Error in sourcing. No supplier found. Material &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the sourcing process in SAP (typically in the Procurement or Materials Management module) when the system tries to find a source of supply (supplier) for a particular material but fails to find any valid source. This means that for the material in question, there is no vendor or source of supply maintained or available in the system for the purchasing process.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  No source list maintained for the material.  
  No valid info record exists for the material and vendor combination.  
  The source list or info record is not valid for the plant or purchasing organization.  
  The source list or info record is blocked or expired.  
  The material master data is incomplete or missing relevant procurement data.  
  The material is not set up for external procurement (e.g., procurement type is set to in-house production).
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WG125 error, perform the following checks and actions:
  
  
  Check Source List:  
  
  Transaction: ME01 (Create Source List) or ME03 (Display Source List)  
  Verify if a source list exists for the material and plant.  
  If missing, create a source list entry with a valid vendor and validity dates.
  
  
  
  Check Info Records:  
  
  Transaction: ME11 (Create Purchasing Info Record) or ME12 (Change) or ME13 (Display)  
  Ensure that a valid purchasing info record exists for the material and vendor.  
  Check validity dates and status (not blocked).
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:  
  
  Transaction: MM02 (Change Material)  
  Go to the Purchasing view and verify:  
  
  Procurement type (should be external procurement if purchasing from vendor).  
  Plant-specific data is maintained.  
  MRP type and other relevant fields are correctly set.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:  
  
  Transaction: XK03 (Display Vendor)  
  Verify that the vendor is active and valid for the purchasing organization and plant.
  
  
  
  Check Source Determination Settings:  
  
  Sometimes, source determination is influenced by configuration or custom logic.  
  Verify if any user-exits or BAdIs are affecting sourcing.
  
  
  
  Check if the material is flagged for in-house production only:  
  
  If so, no external supplier will be found.

  Summary:
  WG125 indicates that SAP cannot find a supplier for the material during sourcing.

Once these are corrected, the system will be able to find a supplier and proceed with the procurement process.
