• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS013 - Supplier specified not found in wrf_pricat_001 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_PROCESS013 – Supplier specified not found in wrf_pricat_001
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of a wrf_pricat_001 message (typically a Price Catalog message in SAP GTS or SAP EDI scenarios) when the system cannot find the supplier/vendor specified in the incoming message within the SAP system master data.
  In other words, the supplier/vendor code or identifier provided in the wrf_pricat_001 message does not match any existing supplier record in the SAP system. This mismatch can be due to:
  
  The supplier/vendor master data not being created or maintained in SAP.
  Incorrect or inconsistent supplier/vendor code in the incoming message.
  Mapping issues between external supplier IDs and internal SAP vendor numbers.
  Data synchronization problems between external systems and SAP.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Supplier Master Data:
  
  Check if the supplier/vendor specified in the wrf_pricat_001 message exists in SAP.
  Use transaction codes like XK03 (Display Vendor) or BP (Business Partner) to verify the supplier/vendor master data.
  Confirm that the supplier number/code matches exactly with what is sent in the message.
  
  
  
  Check Mapping and Configuration:
  
  If the supplier code in the message is an external ID, verify the mapping between external supplier IDs and SAP vendor numbers.
  Review partner profiles and mapping tables used in the EDI or IDoc processing.
  Ensure that the correct partner function and partner number are maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Supplier:
  
  If the supplier does not exist, create or maintain the supplier/vendor master data in SAP.
  Ensure all necessary fields are filled correctly, especially those used in the message processing.
  
  
  
  Message Data Validation:
  
  Validate the incoming wrf_pricat_001 message data for correctness.
  Check for typos or incorrect supplier codes.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Message:
  
  After correcting the supplier master data or mapping, reprocess the wrf_pricat_001 message.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  wrf_pricat_001 is typically a message type related to Price Catalogs in SAP GTS or SAP EDI.
  The error is common in integration scenarios where external supplier/vendor data must align with SAP master data.
  Check SAP Notes or OSS messages related to WGDS_PROCESS013 for any system-specific patches or updates.
