  Error Message
  WGDS_PROCESS062: Supplier number not found
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system is unable to find the supplier (vendor) number in the relevant SAP master data during a process execution. Typically, this happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Goods receipt or invoice verification processes where the supplier/vendor number is required.
  Integration points between SAP modules such as MM (Materials Management) and FI (Financial Accounting).
  When the supplier/vendor master data is missing, incomplete, or not properly maintained.
  Incorrect or missing supplier number in the transactional document or interface data.
  
  
  Common Scenarios
  
  The supplier/vendor number entered in a purchase order, invoice, or goods receipt does not exist in the vendor master (transaction codes like XK01/XK03).
  The supplier number is not maintained in the system for the relevant company code or purchasing organization.
  Data transfer or interface errors where supplier number is not mapped or passed correctly.
  Custom developments or enhancements that expect a supplier number but receive a blank or invalid value.
  
  
  Solution / Resolution Steps
  
  
  Verify Supplier Master Data:
  
  Check if the supplier/vendor number exists in the vendor master data.
  Use transaction codes:
  
  XK03 (Display Vendor)
  MK03 (Display Vendor Purchasing Data)
  FK03 (Display Vendor Accounting Data)
  
  
  Ensure the vendor is created for the relevant company code and purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Check the Transaction Data:
  
  Verify that the supplier number is correctly entered in the purchase order, invoice, or goods receipt document.
  Correct any typos or missing supplier numbers.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the supplier number is consistent across all related documents and interfaces.
  If data is coming from an external system or interface, check the mapping and data transfer logs.
  
  
  
  Maintain Supplier Number if Missing:
  
  If the supplier does not exist, create the vendor master record using XK01 or relevant vendor creation transaction.
  Ensure all mandatory fields are filled, especially those relevant to the process (company code, purchasing org).
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code / Enhancements:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program or user exit, debug to check why the supplier number is not found or passed.
  Ensure the logic correctly fetches or passes the supplier number.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Sometimes, the user may not have authorization to view or access the supplier master data, leading to this error.
  Verify user roles and authorizations related to vendor master data.
