• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG214 - No suitable purchasing info records were read for the selection (EINE) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WG214: "No suitable purchasing info records were read for the selection (EINE)":
  
  Error Message:
  WG214 - No suitable purchasing info records were read for the selection (EINE)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during purchasing document processing (e.g., Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order) when the system tries to find a Purchasing Info Record (PIR) for a given material and vendor combination but fails to find any suitable records based on the selection criteria.
  The Purchasing Info Record (EINE table) contains data about the relationship between a material and a vendor, such as prices, conditions, delivery times, etc. If the system cannot find a matching info record, it cannot proceed with certain automatic functions like price determination or source determination.
  Common causes include:
  
  No Purchasing Info Record exists for the material/vendor combination.
  The info record exists but is not valid for the purchasing organization or plant.
  The info record is blocked or flagged as deleted.
  The selection criteria (e.g., purchasing organization, vendor, material) do not match any existing info record.
  The purchasing document is being created with parameters that do not correspond to any info record (e.g., wrong vendor, wrong plant).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check if Purchasing Info Record Exists:
  
  Use transaction ME13 (Display Purchasing Info Record) or ME12 (Change) to verify if an info record exists for the material and vendor.
  If no info record exists, create one using ME11.
  
  
  
  Verify Validity and Status:
  
  Check the validity dates of the info record to ensure it is valid on the document date.
  Ensure the info record is not blocked or flagged for deletion.
  
  
  
  Check Purchasing Organization and Plant:
  
  Confirm that the purchasing organization and plant in the purchasing document match those in the info record.
  Info records can be created at different organizational levels (client, plant, purchasing org). Make sure the document uses the correct organizational data.
  
  
  
  Review Vendor Master Data:
  
  Ensure the vendor is correctly maintained and active for the purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Data:
  
  If the purchasing document references a vendor or material for which no info record exists, either change the vendor/material or create the necessary info record.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  In some cases, the system might be set to require info records for certain purchasing document types or processes. Review the configuration in SPRO under:
  
  Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Info Record ? Define Info Record Types and settings.
  
  
  Also, check if the system is set to allow processing without info records.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Purchasing Info Record (EINE table): Stores data about the relationship between a material and a vendor.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  ME11 - Create Purchasing Info Record
  ME12 - Change Purchasing Info Record
  ME13 - Display Purchasing Info Record

  Impact:
