  Error Message:
  WRBA002 - No article found for supplier selection
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system is unable to find any article (material) that matches the criteria defined for a supplier selection process. In other words, during a procurement or sourcing process, SAP tries to find articles linked to a particular supplier or supplier selection but fails to locate any.
  Common reasons include:
  
  No articles assigned to the supplier: The supplier master data does not have any articles (materials) assigned.
  Incorrect or incomplete supplier selection criteria: The selection parameters used to find articles for the supplier are too restrictive or incorrect.
  Material master data issues: The articles expected to be found may not be properly maintained or flagged for procurement from the supplier.
  Data inconsistencies: Missing or incorrect links between supplier and articles in the system.
  Customizing or configuration issues: The system settings for supplier-article assignment or sourcing procedures may be incomplete or incorrect.
