  The SAP error message WRF_PRC_POHF146 indicates that there is an issue related to the Open-to-Buy (OTB) check during the purchase order (PO) processing. Specifically, it suggests that the system requires at least one document (such as a purchase order or a purchase requisition) for which the OTB check was negative to be selected.
  Cause:
  
  OTB Check Failure: The OTB check is a mechanism used to ensure that there is sufficient budget or inventory available for the purchase order being processed. If the check fails, it means that the system has determined that there are insufficient funds or inventory to cover the requested purchase.

  Solution:
  
  Select Documents: Ensure that you select at least one document that has a negative OTB check. This may involve reviewing the documents available and identifying those that do not meet the OTB criteria.
  Review OTB Settings: Check the configuration settings for OTB in your SAP system. Ensure that the parameters are set correctly and that the OTB calculations are functioning as intended.
  Adjust Purchase Order: If necessary, adjust the purchase order to align with the available budget or inventory. This may involve reducing quantities, changing items, or reallocating funds.
  Consult with Finance/Inventory Teams: If you are unsure why the OTB check is failing, consult with your finance or inventory management teams to understand the underlying issues and how to resolve them.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as ME21N (Create Purchase Order) or ME22N (Change Purchase Order) to manage your purchase orders.
  OTB Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings for OTB in SAP, which can typically be found in the customizing settings under the relevant modules (e.g., MM - Materials Management).
