  Error Message
  WG403: No order item (EKPO) for PO &1 found
  
  &1 is a placeholder for the Purchase Order (PO) number.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to find one or more items in the EKPO table (which stores purchase order item data) for the given purchase order number, but no corresponding item records exist.
  Common reasons include:
  
  
  Purchase Order Header Exists but No Items
  
  The PO header (in table EKKO) exists, but no items have been created or saved in the PO (EKPO is empty for that PO number).
  
  
  Incorrect PO Number
  
  The PO number entered or passed to the program is incorrect or does not exist in EKPO.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency or Corruption
  
  There might be data inconsistencies between EKKO and EKPO tables.
  
  
  Authorization or Data Access Issues
  
  The user or program might not have the authorization to read EKPO data, or the data retrieval is restricted.
  
  
  Custom Program or Interface Issue
  
  If this error occurs in a custom program or interface, it might be due to incorrect logic or missing data retrieval steps.
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Purchase Order Items  
  
  Use transaction ME23N or ME22N to display the PO and verify that it contains items.
  If no items exist, create the necessary PO items.
  
  
  
  Verify PO Number  
  
  Confirm that the PO number passed to the program or interface is correct.
  Check for typos or wrong PO references.
  
  
  
  Check Database Tables  
  
  Use SE16/SE16N to check tables:
  
  EKKO for PO header
  EKPO for PO items  
  
  
  Ensure that for the given PO number, entries exist in EKPO.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations  
  
  Verify that the user/program has the necessary authorizations to read EKPO data.
  
  
  
  Debug or Review Custom Code  
  
  If this error occurs in a custom program or interface, debug the code to check how the PO number is passed and how EKPO data is fetched.
  Ensure that the program logic correctly handles cases where no items exist.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check  
  
  Run standard SAP consistency reports or database checks if data inconsistencies are suspected.
