  The SAP error message WM715 ("Supplier sub-range & for supplier & does not exist") typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Materials Management (MM) when the system is unable to find a specific sub-range for a supplier in the system. This can happen during various processes, such as goods receipt, inventory management, or when trying to create or manage purchase orders.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The sub-range for the specified supplier has not been defined in the system. This could be due to a lack of setup in the vendor master data or the material master data.
  Incorrect Data Entry: The supplier or sub-range may have been incorrectly entered, leading to a mismatch in the system.
  Data Deletion: The sub-range may have been deleted or not properly maintained in the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access the supplier or sub-range data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to the vendor master data (transaction code XK03 for general data or MK03 for purchasing data).
