  The SAP error message WRF_WSUBST011 indicates that there is an issue in a BAdI (Business Add-In) implementation related to the substitution of values in a purchase order. This error typically occurs when the BAdI implementation does not handle certain conditions correctly, leading to a failure in processing the purchase order for the specified item.
  Cause:
  
  
  BAdI Implementation Issues: The error is often caused by incorrect or incomplete logic in the BAdI implementation. This could be due to:
  
  Missing or incorrect handling of specific conditions.
  Errors in the coding logic that prevent the BAdI from executing properly.
  Unhandled exceptions or errors in the BAdI code.
  
  
  
  Data Issues: There may be issues with the data being processed, such as:
  
  Invalid or missing data in the purchase order or item.
  Data inconsistencies that the BAdI is not designed to handle.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the substitution process may not be set up correctly, leading to unexpected behavior.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review BAdI Implementation:
