• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC088 - Enter a supplier currency for material &1 ?

  The SAP error message WRF_APC088: Enter a supplier currency for material &1 typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or when working with procurement data in SAP ERP systems integrated with APO.
  
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the system requires a supplier currency to be maintained for the specified material (material number is represented by &1 in the message). The supplier currency is necessary for procurement planning, pricing, and valuation purposes. If the supplier currency is missing or not maintained in the relevant master data (such as Info Record, Source List, or Vendor Master), the system cannot proceed with the planning or procurement process.
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  During procurement planning or integration between SAP ERP and APO.
  When creating or processing purchase info records or source lists.
  When running planning or procurement-related transactions that require supplier currency information.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Supplier Currency:
  
  Go to the Purchase Info Record (transaction ME11/ME12/ME13).
  Enter the material number and vendor.
  Check the currency field and ensure that a valid supplier currency is maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Use transaction XK03 or MK03 to display vendor master data.
  Verify that the currency is maintained correctly in the purchasing data.
  
  
  
  Check Source List:
  
  Use transaction ME01/ME02/ME03 to check the source list for the material.
  Ensure that the source list entries have the correct currency maintained.
  
  
  
  Integration Settings:
  
  If the error occurs during APO integration, verify that the supplier currency is correctly mapped and transferred from ERP to APO.
  Check CIF (Core Interface) settings and data consistency.
  
  
  
  Material Master:
  
  Although the error specifically mentions supplier currency, ensure that the material master data is complete and consistent, especially in the purchasing views.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  The supplier currency is usually the currency in which the vendor invoices or quotes prices.
  Missing or inconsistent currency data can cause issues in pricing, valuation, and planning.
  If multiple currencies are involved, ensure that the correct currency is assigned to the relevant purchasing info records or vendor data.
