• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP635 - Supplier & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message WP635: Supplier & does not exist typically occurs when the system cannot find the specified supplier (vendor) master record during a transaction, such as creating or processing a purchase order, invoice, or goods receipt.
  
  Cause
  
  The supplier (vendor) number entered in the transaction does not exist in the vendor master data.
  The vendor master record might have been deleted or blocked.
  The vendor number might have been mistyped or incorrectly referenced.
  The vendor master data might not be maintained for the relevant company code or purchasing organization.
  The vendor master data might not be extended to the relevant organizational level (e.g., company code or purchasing org).
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Use transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor Purchasing) to verify if the vendor exists.
  If the vendor does not exist, create it using XK01 (Create Vendor) or MK01 (Create Vendor Purchasing).
  
  
  
  Verify Vendor Number:
  
  Confirm that the vendor number entered in the transaction is correct and matches the vendor master record.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Status:
  
  Ensure the vendor is not blocked for transactions.
  Check the vendor's status in the master data (e.g., blocked for posting).
  
  
  
  Check Organizational Assignment:
  
  Verify that the vendor is extended to the relevant company code and purchasing organization.
  Use XK02 or MK02 to extend the vendor master data if necessary.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to access the vendor master data.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
