• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI209 - User cancelled selection of additionals supplier ?

  The SAP error message WTADDI209: User cancelled selection of additionals supplier typically occurs in the context of SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) processes, particularly during the handling of additional suppliers or vendor selection steps.
  
  Cause
  
  The message indicates that the user manually cancelled or aborted the selection process for additional suppliers during a transaction.
  This usually happens when the system prompts the user to select an additional supplier (for example, during goods receipt, putaway, or stock transfer processes), and the user chooses to cancel or exit the selection screen instead of making a valid selection.
  It is not an error caused by system malfunction but rather a user action that interrupts the process flow.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Inform the user that cancelling the selection of additional suppliers is not allowed or that the process requires a valid supplier selection to proceed.
  Complete the selection: The user should select the appropriate additional supplier from the list provided by the system instead of cancelling.
  If the selection of additional suppliers is optional and the user wants to skip it, check the configuration or process design to allow skipping or defaulting the supplier.
  Check process design: If the cancellation is frequent and problematic, review the process steps or user training to ensure users understand the importance of completing the selection.
  If the cancellation is unintended, provide user training or adjust the UI to make the selection step clearer or mandatory.
