  SAP Error Message:
  WP644 - Supplier position &1 for plant &2 does not exist
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to reference or use a supplier position (vendor sub-range or supplier sub-number) for a specific plant, but the system cannot find this supplier position in the master data for the given plant.
  In SAP, a supplier position (also called vendor sub-range or supplier sub-number) is a subdivision of a vendor master record, often used to differentiate deliveries, invoices, or purchasing data within the same vendor but for different plants or purposes.
  The error indicates that the supplier position number you are trying to use is not maintained or assigned for the specified plant in the system.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The supplier position (vendor sub-range) has not been created or assigned for the plant in question.
  The vendor master data for the plant does not include the supplier position.
  Incorrect supplier position number entered in the transaction.
  Data inconsistency or missing configuration in vendor master or purchasing info records.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor - Purchasing view).
  Enter the vendor number and plant.
  Verify if the supplier position (vendor sub-range) exists for the plant.
  
  
  
  Create or Maintain Supplier Position:
  
  If the supplier position does not exist, create it using transaction XK02 (Change Vendor) or MK02.
  Navigate to the purchasing data for the vendor and add the required supplier position for the plant.
  
  
  
  Check Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Use transaction ME13 to display the purchasing info record.
  Verify if the supplier position is maintained correctly for the plant and vendor.
  
  
  
  Verify Transaction Data:
  
  Ensure that the supplier position number entered in the transaction (e.g., purchase order, invoice) is correct and corresponds to the vendor and plant.
  
  
  
  Consult Customizing (if applicable):
  
  Sometimes, supplier positions are controlled via customizing settings.
  Check if any specific configuration is required for supplier positions in the IMG under Materials Management > Purchasing > Vendor Master > Define Vendor Sub-Ranges.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Supplier positions (vendor sub-ranges) are used to differentiate deliveries or invoices from the same vendor but for different plants or purposes.
  Proper maintenance of supplier positions is important for correct processing of purchase orders, goods receipts, and invoices.
  If supplier positions are not used in your organization, ensure that transactions do not reference them.
  This error is common in scenarios involving multiple plants and vendor sub-ranges.
