  Error Message
  WRF_APC309 No supplier found for catalog &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP when the system tries to find a supplier assigned to a specific catalog but fails to locate any supplier linked to that catalog. In other words, the catalog you are trying to use or reference does not have any supplier assigned to it in the system.
  This situation typically arises in scenarios involving:
  
  SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM)
  SAP Ariba integration
  Catalog management in SAP ERP or SRM
  
  The system expects that each catalog is linked to at least one supplier to process procurement documents or catalog browsing, but the link is missing or incorrectly maintained.
  
  Common Reasons
  
  The catalog has been created but no supplier has been assigned to it.
  The supplier master data is incomplete or missing.
  The catalog-supplier assignment was deleted or never maintained.
  Data inconsistencies between SAP ERP and SRM or Ariba systems.
  Incorrect catalog ID or reference used in the transaction.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you need to ensure that the catalog is properly assigned to a supplier. The steps generally include:
  
  
  Check Catalog-Supplier Assignment:
  
  In SAP SRM or ERP, verify the catalog master data.
  Use transaction codes or apps related to catalog maintenance (e.g., SRM_CATA_MAINTAIN or relevant IMG settings).
  Confirm that the catalog ID mentioned in the error message (&1) has at least one supplier assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Supplier to Catalog:
  
  If no supplier is assigned, assign the correct supplier(s) to the catalog.
  This can be done via the catalog maintenance transaction or through customizing.
  Ensure the supplier master data is complete and active.
  
  
  
  Check Supplier Master Data:
  
  Verify that the supplier exists in the system and is active.
  Check vendor master data in SAP ERP (XK03 or MK03).
  
  
  
  Synchronize Data (if applicable):
  
  If using SAP SRM or Ariba, ensure that the catalog and supplier data are synchronized between systems.
  Run relevant synchronization jobs or interfaces.
  
  
  
  Verify Catalog ID:
  
  Confirm that the catalog ID used in the transaction or process is correct and exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to access the catalog and supplier data.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SRM_CATA_MAINTAIN (Catalog Maintenance in SRM)
  MEK1 / MEK2 (Maintain Conditions for Purchasing Info Records)
  XK03 / MK03 (Display Vendor Master Data)
  
  
  
  IMG Path (for customizing):
  
  Logistics ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Catalogs ? Assign Catalogs to Suppliers
  
  
  
  Related Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to catalog and supplier integration for your SAP version.
  Sometimes, patches or updates fix catalog-supplier assignment issues.
  
  
  
  Logs and Traces:
