• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE003 - Subrange &1 for Supplier &2 does not exist ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE003: Subrange &1 for Supplier &2 does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or reference a subrange (a specific subset or segment) defined for a particular supplier, but the subrange does not exist in the system for that supplier.
  
  In SAP, subranges are often used in scenarios like source lists, quota arrangements, or vendor evaluation where suppliers are assigned specific subranges or segments.
  The system expects a valid subrange entry for the supplier but cannot find it in the master data or configuration.
  This can happen if the subrange was deleted, never created, or there is a mismatch in the data.
  
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When processing purchase orders or contracts involving quota arrangements.
  During source list checks or validations.
  When using vendor subranges in procurement or supply chain processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Subrange Master Data:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction where subranges are maintained (e.g., quota arrangement maintenance - transaction MEQ1, source list - ME01).
  Verify if the subrange &1 exists for supplier &2.
  If it does not exist, create the required subrange for the supplier.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the subrange is correctly assigned and active.
  Check if the subrange is valid for the purchasing organization and material group or material.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Check if there are any inconsistencies or missing entries in vendor master or related procurement master data.
  Run consistency checks or reports to identify missing subranges.
  
  
  
  Transport or Customizing Issues:
  
  If this error appeared after a transport or system change, verify that all relevant customizing and master data were transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Debugging (if needed):
  
  If the issue persists, debugging the program or user-exit where the error occurs can help identify why the system expects a subrange that does not exist.
