  Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE006
  
  Text: Inforecord does not exist for supplier &1 and material &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to find a purchasing info record (inforecord) for a specific combination of supplier (vendor) and material, but no such info record exists in the system.
  
  The purchasing info record is a master data record that links a material with a vendor and contains information such as prices, conditions, delivery terms, etc.
  When creating or processing a purchase order, contract, or scheduling agreement, the system checks if an info record exists for the vendor-material combination.
  If the info record is missing, the system cannot proceed with certain processes that depend on this data, hence the error.
  
  
  Typical Scenarios Where This Error Occurs:
  
  Creating a Purchase Order (PO) for a material and vendor combination without an existing info record.
  Automatic PO creation or subcontracting processes where the system expects an info record.
  Vendor evaluation or source determination steps that require info record data.
  MRP or procurement proposals referencing vendor-material info records.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create the Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Use transaction ME11 (Create Purchasing Info Record).
  Enter the Vendor and Material numbers.
  Maintain the necessary data such as purchasing organization, conditions (price, discounts), delivery times, etc.
  Save the info record.
  
  
  
  Check if the Info Record Exists:
  
  Use transaction ME13 (Display Purchasing Info Record) to verify if the info record exists.
  If it exists but is flagged for deletion or inactive, reactivate or create a new one.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor and Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the vendor and material master data are correct and active.
  Use XK03 (Display Vendor) and MM03 (Display Material) to verify.
  
  
  
  Review Procurement Type:
  
  Check if the material is set for external procurement.
  If the material is set for in-house production, an info record may not be required.
  
  
  
  Adjust System Settings (if applicable):
  
  In some cases, the system can be configured to allow purchase orders without an info record.
  This is controlled by the Info Record Requirement Indicator in the material master or purchasing settings.
  However, this is generally not recommended as info records provide important purchasing data.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  Purchasing Info Record (PIR):
  
  It is a key master data object in SAP MM that links a material and a vendor. It stores conditions, prices, and other procurement-related data.
