  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC081 - Wrong supplier &1 for purchasing organization &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or use a supplier (vendor) that is not valid or not assigned to the specified purchasing organization in the system. In SAP, each purchasing organization can have a specific set of suppliers assigned to it. If you attempt to use a supplier that is not linked or authorized for that purchasing organization, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system checks the relationship between the supplier (vendor) and the purchasing organization.
  If the supplier is not maintained or assigned for the purchasing organization in the vendor master data, the system prevents the transaction.
  This is a control to ensure that purchasing activities are done only with authorized suppliers for a given purchasing organization.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor Purchasing Data).
  Enter the vendor number and check if the vendor is assigned to the purchasing organization mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Assign Vendor to Purchasing Organization:
  
  If the vendor is not assigned, you need to assign the vendor to the purchasing organization.
  Use transaction XK02 (Change Vendor) or MK02 (Change Vendor Purchasing Data).
  Add the purchasing organization to the vendor's purchasing data.
  
  
  
  Verify Purchasing Organization:
  
  Ensure that the purchasing organization entered in the transaction is correct.
  Sometimes, the wrong purchasing organization might be entered by mistake.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Status:
  
  Verify if the vendor is blocked or inactive for the purchasing organization.
  If blocked, unblock or activate as necessary.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization to use the vendor for the purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Vendor Master Data: Vendor master data is maintained at different organizational levels: client, company code, and purchasing organization.
