  Error Message: WG206 - No supplier available which satisfies the selection criteria
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system cannot find any supplier (vendor) that matches the selection criteria specified during a procurement or sourcing process. This typically happens in scenarios such as:
  
  Creating a purchase requisition or purchase order with source determination.
  Running source determination or automatic source assignment.
  Using the SAP Vendor Evaluation or Vendor Selection functions.
  When the system tries to find a valid source of supply but none meet the defined criteria.
  
  Common reasons include:
  
  No valid source of supply (vendor) exists for the material or service.
  The vendor master data is incomplete or not maintained properly.
  The source list or info records do not contain any valid entries for the material and plant combination.
  The selection criteria (such as plant, purchasing organization, material group, vendor evaluation score, or other filters) are too restrictive or incorrect.
  The vendor is blocked or flagged as inactive.
  The validity dates of source list or info records do not cover the current date.
  The purchasing info record or source list is missing or not maintained.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WG206 error, perform the following checks and actions:
  
  
  Check Source List:
  
  Verify if a source list exists for the material and plant.
  Ensure the source list entry is valid (correct validity dates, not blocked).
  Transaction: ME01 (Maintain Source List), ME03 (Display Source List).
  
  
  
  Check Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Confirm that a purchasing info record exists for the material and vendor.
  Check validity dates and status.
  Transaction: ME11 (Create), ME12 (Change), ME13 (Display).
  
  
  
  Vendor Master Data:
  
  Verify that the vendor is active and not blocked for purchasing.
  Check vendor master data for the purchasing organization and plant.
  Transaction: XK03 (Display Vendor).
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Evaluation and Selection Criteria:
  
  If vendor evaluation or scoring is used, ensure vendors meet the minimum criteria.
  Adjust or relax selection criteria if too restrictive.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Confirm that the material is extended to the relevant plant and purchasing organization.
  Transaction: MM02 (Change Material).
  
  
  
  Review Purchasing Group and Organization:
  
  Ensure the purchasing group and organization are correctly assigned and active.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria:
  
  If the system uses custom selection criteria or user exits, review and adjust them.
  
  
  
  Run Source Determination Manually:
  
  Use transaction ME57 (Assign and Process Purchase Requisitions) or ME59N (Automatic PO Creation) to check if source determination works manually.

  SAP Notes: Sometimes SAP releases notes related to source determination issues; check SAP Support Portal for notes related to WG206.
  Customization: Source determination logic can be influenced by user exits or BAdIs (e.g., ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST), so custom code might affect vendor selection.
