• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG208 - None of the suppliers takes part in optimized PO-based load building ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG208 - None of the suppliers takes part in optimized PO-based load building
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the load building process in SAP's Transportation Management (TM) or Logistics Execution (LE) when the system tries to create optimized loads based on Purchase Orders (POs), but none of the suppliers involved in the POs are configured or eligible to participate in the optimized load building.
  In other words, the system cannot assign any supplier to the optimized load because:
  
  The suppliers are not flagged or set up for optimized PO-based load building.
  The relevant master data or configuration for suppliers is missing or incomplete.
  The selection criteria or filters applied exclude all suppliers.
  The transportation planning or load building settings do not include these suppliers.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WG208 error, check and adjust the following:
  
  
  Supplier Master Data:
  
  Verify that the suppliers involved in the POs are correctly maintained in the system.
  Ensure that the suppliers are flagged or configured to participate in optimized load building.
  Check if the supplier's transportation zone, shipping conditions, or other relevant fields are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Load Building Configuration:
  
  Review the load building profile or strategy settings.
  Confirm that the load building process includes the suppliers in question.
  Check if any filters or selection criteria exclude these suppliers.
  
  
  
  Transportation Planning Settings:
  
  Ensure that the transportation planning parameters allow for PO-based load building with these suppliers.
  Verify that the transportation lanes, routes, and shipping points are correctly maintained and linked to the suppliers.
  
  
  
  Purchase Order Data:
  
  Confirm that the POs have correct supplier assignments.
  Check if the POs are released and valid for transportation planning.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments, rerun the load building process.
  Monitor if the system now includes suppliers in the optimized load building.
