• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_WSUBST061 - Master data filtered in BAdI; purchase order &1, item &2 ?

  The SAP error message WRF_WSUBST061 indicates that there is an issue with the master data being filtered in a Business Add-In (BAdI) during the processing of a purchase order. This error typically occurs when the system is unable to find the necessary master data (like material, vendor, or other related data) for the specified purchase order and item.
  Cause:
  
  Master Data Inconsistency: The master data for the material or vendor may not be correctly maintained or may be missing.
  BAdI Implementation: The BAdI implementation may have specific filtering logic that is excluding the relevant master data for the purchase order and item in question.
  Data Activation Issues: There may be issues with the activation of the relevant master data in the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the required master data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Master Data: Verify that the master data for the material and vendor associated with the purchase order is correctly maintained. This includes checking:
  
  Material master data
  Vendor master data
  Purchasing info records
  
  
  
  Review BAdI Implementation: If a custom BAdI implementation is in place, review the logic to ensure that it is not inadvertently filtering out valid master data. You may need to adjust the filtering criteria or logic.
  
  
  Data Activation: Ensure that all relevant master data has been activated in the system. Sometimes, data may be created but not activated, leading to this error.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the master data. This can be checked in the user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the BAdI implementation to trace where the filtering is occurring and why the master data is not being found.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific BAdI being used to see if there are known issues or additional configuration steps required.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAdI Documentation: Check the SAP Help Portal for documentation on the specific BAdI being used in your implementation.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like MM03 (Material Master), MK03 (Vendor Master), and ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to review the relevant master data.
