• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC080 - Supplier &1 does not exist ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC080 Supplier &1 does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to reference a supplier (vendor) that does not exist in the SAP system. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the supplier number that the system could not find in the vendor master data.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  The supplier/vendor number entered in a transaction or master data is incorrect or mistyped.
  The supplier/vendor master record has not been created or has been deleted.
  The supplier/vendor number is referenced in a document or process (e.g., purchase order, invoice, or vendor evaluation) but does not exist in the vendor master.
  Data migration or interface errors where supplier numbers are passed incorrectly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Supplier Number:
  
  Check the supplier/vendor number entered in the transaction or document.
  Ensure it is correct and matches the vendor master data.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor - Purchasing) to verify if the supplier exists.
  If the vendor does not exist, create the vendor master record using XK01 or MK01.
  
  
  
  Correct the Reference:
  
  If the supplier number is incorrect in the document or interface, correct it to a valid supplier number.
  
  
  
  Data Migration / Interface Check:
  
  If the error occurs during data upload or interface processing, check the source data and mapping to ensure valid supplier numbers are passed.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorization to view or create vendor master data.
