  Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE024: Supplier is required
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a transaction or process in SAP requires a supplier (vendor) to be specified, but the supplier field is either left blank or not properly maintained. The system expects a valid supplier/vendor number to proceed, and since it is missing, the error is triggered.
  Common scenarios where this might happen include:
  
  Creating or processing purchase orders, contracts, or scheduling agreements without specifying a supplier.
  Goods receipt or invoice verification processes where the supplier/vendor is mandatory.
  Custom or standard workflows where supplier data is mandatory but not provided.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter a valid supplier/vendor number:
  
  Check the relevant field where the supplier/vendor is expected.
  Enter a valid supplier/vendor code that exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Verify master data:
  
  Ensure the supplier/vendor master data exists and is active.
  Use transaction codes like XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 to verify vendor details.
  
  
  
  Check the process or document type:
  
  Confirm that the document or transaction type requires a supplier.
  If the process is custom, check the configuration or user-exits/enhancements that enforce supplier entry.
  
  
  
  Review user input or interface:
  
  If data is being uploaded or interfaced from external systems, ensure the supplier field is correctly mapped and populated.
  
  
  
  Consult configuration:
  
  In some cases, the error might be due to missing or incorrect configuration in the purchasing or vendor management modules.
  Check the settings in IMG under Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Vendor Master Data.
