  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP620 - Supplier must be entered for movement type & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WP620 - Supplier must be entered for movement type &


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to post a material document with a movement type that requires a supplier/vendor to be specified, but the supplier field is left empty. Certain movement types in SAP (especially those related to subcontracting or consignment) mandate that a vendor/supplier must be entered to correctly process the transaction.

    For example, movement types like 101 (Goods Receipt for Purchase Order) or 411 (Goods Receipt for Subcontracting) require a vendor to be specified because the goods are linked to a purchase order or subcontracting process involving a supplier.


    Solution:

    1. Enter the Supplier/Vendor:

      • When posting the material document, ensure that the supplier/vendor field is filled in.
      • This is typically done by entering the Purchase Order (PO) number or directly specifying the vendor in the relevant field.
    2. Check Movement Type Configuration:

      • Verify if the movement type you are using requires a supplier.
      • You can check this in transaction OMJJ (Customizing for movement types).
      • Look for the indicator that enforces supplier entry for the movement type.
    3. Use Correct Transaction and Data:

      • If you are posting a goods receipt against a PO, make sure the PO number is entered so that the system can derive the supplier.
      • If you are doing a manual goods movement, ensure that the movement type used is appropriate and that the supplier is entered if required.
    4. Review Master Data:

      • Ensure that the vendor master data is correctly maintained.
      • The vendor should be active and valid for the purchasing organization.

    Related Information:

    • Movement Types: Different movement types have different requirements. For example:

      • 101: Goods receipt for purchase order (requires vendor)
      • 102: Goods receipt reversal (linked to original document)
      • 411: Goods receipt for subcontracting (requires vendor)
      • 551: Goods receipt for consignment stock (requires vendor)
    • Transactions:

      • MIGO: Goods movement posting
      • MB1C: Other goods receipts
      • OMJJ: Customizing movement types
    • SAP Notes and Documentation:

      • Check SAP Notes related to movement types and vendor requirements.
      • Refer to SAP Help Portal for detailed explanation of movement types and their configuration.

    Summary:

    • Cause: Movement type requires a supplier, but none was entered.
    • Fix: Enter the supplier/vendor when posting the document or adjust the movement type if supplier is not applicable.
    • Check: Movement type configuration and master data correctness.

    If you provide the exact movement type you are using, I can give more specific guidance.
