• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS875 - No invoice recipient and no identification object were entered ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WS875: No invoice recipient and no identification object were entered:
  
  Error Message: WS875
  Text: No invoice recipient and no identification object were entered.
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during invoice processing (e.g., in SAP FI or MM Invoice Verification) when the system expects either:
  
  An invoice recipient (a person or organizational unit responsible for receiving the invoice), or
  An identification object (such as a reference number, identification key, or other identification data)
  
  to be entered in the invoice document or related master data.
  If neither of these is provided, the system cannot determine who should receive or be responsible for the invoice, leading to this error.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  Missing or incomplete data in the vendor master or purchasing info record.
  Missing invoice recipient assignment in the document or vendor master.
  Customizing settings requiring invoice recipient or identification object, but the data is not maintained.
  User omission during invoice entry.
