    SAP Error Message:

    WP623 No purchase order for supplier &1 material &2 exists


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to perform a goods receipt or invoice verification against a purchase order (PO), but the system cannot find any purchase order for the specified supplier (&1) and material (&2). Essentially, the system is indicating that there is no existing PO that matches the supplier and material combination you are referencing.

    Common causes include:

    • The purchase order for the given supplier and material has not been created yet.
    • The purchase order number entered is incorrect or does not exist in the system.
    • The purchase order exists but is for a different supplier or material.
    • The purchase order has been deleted or blocked.
    • The material master data or vendor master data is incorrect or inconsistent.
    • The purchase order is not yet released or approved for further processing.

    When does it occur?

    • During Goods Receipt (GR) posting against a PO.
    • During Invoice Verification when matching an invoice to a PO.
    • When creating or processing delivery documents referencing a PO.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Verify Purchase Order Existence:

      • Check if the PO exists in the system using transaction ME23N (Display Purchase Order).
      • Confirm the PO number, supplier, and material details are correct.
    2. Check Supplier and Material Master Data:

      • Ensure the supplier number (&1) and material number (&2) are correct and active.
      • Use transactions XK03 (Display Vendor) and MM03 (Display Material) to verify.
    3. Check Purchase Order Status:

      • Verify that the PO is not blocked or deleted.
      • Confirm the PO is released and valid for the posting date.
    4. Correct Document Reference:

      • If you are entering the PO number manually during GR or invoice verification, ensure it is entered correctly.
    5. Create Purchase Order if Missing:

      • If no PO exists for the supplier and material, create a new PO using ME21N.
    6. Check for Special Procurement Types:

      • If the material is procured via subcontracting or consignment, ensure the correct PO type and process are followed.
    7. Check for Material-Supplier Relationship:

      • Sometimes, the material may not be assigned to the supplier in the purchasing info record (ME11/ME12/ME13). Create or update the purchasing info record if necessary.

    Additional Information:

    • Message Class: WP6
    • This message is part of the Materials Management (MM) module, specifically related to Purchasing and Inventory Management.
    • The error helps maintain data consistency and ensures that goods receipts and invoices are always matched to valid purchase orders, which is critical for audit and financial control.

    Summary:

    The error WP623 indicates that the system cannot find a purchase order for the specified supplier and material. To resolve it, verify the PO details, supplier and material master data, and create or correct the PO as needed.
