  The SAP error message WGDS_SUBSCRIPTION044 indicates that the supplier table is empty, which means that the system cannot find any supplier data related to the Global Location Number (GLN) that you are trying to work with. This error typically occurs in the context of managing supplier data, especially when dealing with electronic data interchange (EDI) or supply chain processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Supplier Data: The supplier data for the specified GLN is not maintained in the system. This could be due to a new supplier that has not yet been added or an existing supplier whose data has been deleted or not properly configured.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the supplier master data or the integration settings that link the GLN to the supplier data.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was recently migrated or imported into the system, there may have been errors or omissions during that process.

  Navigate to the relevant transaction in SAP to maintain supplier data (e.g., transaction code XK01 for creating a vendor or XK02 for changing a vendor).
  Enter the necessary details for the supplier, including the GLN, and ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly.
