  The SAP error message WRF_WSUBST057 indicates that master data has been filtered in a Business Add-In (BAdI) during the processing of a purchase order. This typically occurs when certain conditions are not met for the master data associated with the purchase order item, leading to the system not being able to retrieve the necessary data.
  Cause:
