  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG336 - Unknown supplier used for selection. Enter another supplier.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a selection or transaction in SAP using a supplier (vendor) number that does not exist or is not recognized in the system. Essentially, the system cannot find the vendor master record for the supplier number you entered.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The supplier/vendor number is mistyped or incorrect.  
  The supplier/vendor master record has not been created or is inactive.  
  The supplier/vendor number belongs to a different company code or purchasing organization than the one you are working with.  
  The vendor master data is not maintained in the relevant purchasing organization or company code.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Vendor Number:
  
  Verify that the supplier/vendor number you entered is correct. Check for typos or wrong digits.
  
  
  Verify Vendor Master Data:  
  
  Use transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor Purchasing Data) to check if the vendor exists in the system.  
  Confirm that the vendor master record is created for the relevant company code and purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Vendor Master Record:  
  
  If the vendor does not exist, create it using XK01 (Create Vendor).  
  If the vendor exists but is inactive or missing purchasing data, update it using XK02 (Change Vendor).
  
  
  
  Check Selection Parameters:  
  
  Ensure that the selection screen or report you are using is set to the correct company code or purchasing organization that corresponds to the vendor master data.
  
  
  
  Consult with Master Data Team:
  
  If you do not have authorization to create or change vendor master data, contact your master data or procurement team to verify and correct the vendor information.

  Notes:  
  
  Always ensure vendor master data is maintained consistently across company codes and purchasing organizations to avoid such errors.  
  Vendor numbers are client-specific; ensure you are working in the correct client.
  
  
  
  
  If after these checks the problem persists, review the specific program or report documentation to ensure the vendor number format and selection criteria are correct.
