  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC688
  Text: You cannot display purchasing list item &1 &3 from the current view.
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to display or access a purchasing list item in a view that does not support the display of that particular item. In SAP, purchasing lists (such as source lists or quota arrangements) have different views or contexts (e.g., plant-specific, purchasing organization-specific). If you attempt to display an item from a view where it is not valid or not maintained, the system prevents it and throws this error.
  Common causes include:  
  
  Attempting to display a purchasing list item in a view that does not contain that item.  
  The item exists only in a different organizational level or view (e.g., plant vs. purchasing organization).  
  The current user or transaction context is restricted to a view that excludes the item.
