  Error Message
  WRF_APC247: No purchasing list could be selected
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically within the Supply Network Planning (SNP) or Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) modules when the system tries to determine purchasing lists for procurement proposals.
  The main reasons for this error are:
  
  No valid purchasing list exists for the material or product in question.
  The system cannot find a purchasing list that matches the selection criteria (e.g., vendor, plant, purchasing info records).
  The master data related to purchasing lists or info records is incomplete or missing.
  The planning run or heuristic is trying to create procurement proposals but cannot find any purchasing list to base the proposals on.
  
  
  Explanation
  In SAP APO SNP or PP/DS, when the system plans procurement, it uses purchasing lists to determine from which vendors or sources the material can be procured. These purchasing lists are derived from the integration with SAP ERP or maintained directly in APO.
  If no purchasing list is found, the system cannot generate procurement proposals, leading to this error.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Purchasing Lists:
  
  Verify that purchasing lists exist for the material/product in question.
  In SAP APO, check the purchasing list via transaction /SAPAPO/PURCHLIST or relevant planning transactions.
  Ensure that the purchasing list is assigned to the correct product and location.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the product master data is correctly maintained.
  Check that the product is correctly replicated from SAP ERP to APO if applicable.
  Verify that the vendor master and purchasing info records exist and are consistent.
  
  
  
  Check Integration with SAP ERP:
  
  If the purchasing lists are supposed to be replicated from SAP ERP, verify that the CIF (Core Interface) replication is working correctly.
  Check for any errors in CIF queues related to purchasing lists or info records.
  
  
  
  Maintain Purchasing Info Records:
  
  In SAP ERP, ensure that purchasing info records exist for the material and vendor.
  Info records are often the source for purchasing lists in APO.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Heuristics or Parameters:
  
  Review the planning heuristics or SNP/PPDS parameters to ensure they are not filtering out valid purchasing lists.
  Check if any selection criteria are too restrictive.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Use SAP standard reports or tools to check the consistency of master data and purchasing lists.
