  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE002 Supplier &1 does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to reference a supplier (vendor) with the given supplier number (represented by &1 in the message), but the supplier master data does not exist in the system. Essentially, the supplier number you are trying to use or access is not found in the vendor master records.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  The supplier/vendor number was entered incorrectly.
  The supplier/vendor master record has not been created yet.
  The supplier/vendor master record was deleted or blocked.
  The supplier number is being referenced in a process (e.g., purchase order, invoice, or payment) but does not exist in the vendor master.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Supplier Number:
  
  Check the supplier number entered for any typos or mistakes.
  Confirm the correct supplier number with the relevant business user or master data team.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor - Purchasing) to check if the supplier exists.
  If the supplier does not exist, create the vendor master record using XK01 (Create Vendor) or MK01.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Status:
  
  If the vendor exists but is blocked or marked for deletion, unblock or reactivate the vendor if appropriate.
  Use transaction XK02 (Change Vendor) to update the vendor status.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the supplier number is valid for the company code and purchasing organization involved.
  Check if the supplier number is valid in the relevant client and system.
  
  
  
  Integration Checks:
  
  If the error occurs during an interface or data upload (e.g., IDoc, BAPI, or batch input), verify that the supplier master data is correctly maintained in the target system before posting transactions.
