  Error Message
  WG136: Purchase requisition &1 does not exist
  
  &1 is a placeholder for the purchase requisition number that the system is trying to access.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to reference or process a purchase requisition (PR) number that is not found in the database. Possible reasons include:
  
  Incorrect Purchase Requisition Number: The PR number entered or passed to the system does not exist.
  Purchase Requisition Deleted: The PR was created earlier but has been deleted.
  Wrong Document Type or Number Range: The PR number might belong to a different document type or number range.
  Authorization Issues: The user might not have authorization to view or access the PR, making it appear as if it does not exist.
  Data Inconsistency or Database Issues: Rarely, database inconsistencies or incomplete data replication can cause the PR to be inaccessible.
  
  
  When Does It Occur?
  
  When trying to display, change, or process a purchase requisition.
  During automatic processing or integration scenarios (e.g., when a PR is referenced in a workflow, purchase order creation, or report).
  When a program or transaction tries to fetch a PR that is not present.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Verify the Purchase Requisition Number  
  
  Double-check the PR number entered for typos or errors.
  Use transaction ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) to manually check if the PR exists.
  
  
  
  Check if the PR was Deleted  
  
  If the PR was deleted, it cannot be processed further.
  Confirm with the responsible user or department if the PR was intentionally removed.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations  
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to view or process the PR.
  Use transaction SU53 after the error to check for missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Number Ranges and Document Types  
  
  Confirm that the PR number belongs to the correct number range and document type.
  Use transaction OMIB to check number ranges for purchase requisitions.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency  
  
  Run consistency checks or database utilities if you suspect data corruption.
  Consult your SAP Basis or technical team if needed.
  
  
  
  Debug or Analyze the Program  
  
  If the error occurs during a custom program or enhancement, debug to see why the PR number is invalid or missing.
