  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WRF_APC710:
  
  SAP Error Message: WRF_APC710
  Message Text:
  
  For selection by purchasing lists, enter hierarchy ID and node ID
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform a selection or report that requires specifying purchasing lists, but the system detects that the necessary Hierarchy ID and Node ID have not been entered.
  In SAP, purchasing lists can be organized in hierarchies (e.g., organizational units, purchasing groups, or vendor hierarchies). When you want to filter or select data based on these purchasing lists, the system needs the hierarchy structure to know which nodes (elements) to include.
  If you try to run a transaction or report that expects these parameters but they are missing, SAP throws this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When running reports or transactions related to purchasing lists or vendor hierarchies.
  When selection criteria require hierarchy and node information but these fields are left blank.
  Common in reports related to Purchasing Info Records, Source Lists, or Vendor Hierarchies.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Enter Hierarchy ID and Node ID:
  
  In the selection screen or input parameters, provide the Hierarchy ID and Node ID.
  These values define the scope of the purchasing list selection.
  
  
  
  Check the Purchasing List Setup:
  
  Verify that the purchasing lists and their hierarchies are properly maintained in the system.
  Use transaction codes like:
  
  ME01 (Maintain Source List)
  ME03 (Display Source List)
  Or custom transactions related to purchasing hierarchies.
  
  
  
  
  
  If you do not want to select by purchasing lists:
  
  Avoid choosing the option that requires selection by purchasing lists.
  Use other selection criteria that do not require hierarchy and node input.
  
  
  
  Consult your SAP Purchasing or MM consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct hierarchy and node IDs, consult with your SAP MM or purchasing team.
  They can provide the correct values or adjust the configuration.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  Hierarchy ID: Represents the identifier of the purchasing hierarchy (e.g., organizational structure).
  
  
  Node ID: Represents a specific node or element within that hierarchy.
  
  
  These IDs are usually defined during the configuration of purchasing organizations or vendor hierarchies.
  
  
  This message is a safeguard to ensure that the system has enough information to filter purchasing lists correctly.
