• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI460 - Blocked suppliers are excluded from processing ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WTADDI460: Blocked suppliers are excluded from processing:
  
  SAP Error Message: WTADDI460
  Text: Blocked suppliers are excluded from processing
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs during processes such as automatic payment runs, invoice verification, or vendor master data processing when the system detects that one or more suppliers (vendors) involved in the transaction are blocked in the system.
  
  
  Blocked suppliers means that the vendor master record has been flagged with a block indicator, which can be:
  
  Payment block (e.g., in vendor master or on specific invoices)
  Posting block
  Vendor master block (e.g., marked as blocked for purchasing or accounting)
  
  
  
  The system excludes these blocked suppliers from processing to prevent payments or postings to vendors that are not currently authorized for transactions.
  
  
  
  When does this typically happen?
  
  During automatic payment runs (transaction F110), if a vendor is blocked for payment.
  During invoice verification or goods receipt posting, if the vendor is blocked.
  When running reports or processes that involve vendor data, and blocked vendors are filtered out or excluded.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Use transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) or FK03 (Display Vendor Accounting) to check the vendor master record.
  Look for any block indicators:
  
  Payment block (in the payment transactions tab)
  Vendor block (in the general data or purchasing data)
  
  
  
  
  
  Remove or Adjust the Block:
  
  If the block is no longer valid, remove it using XK02 or FK02.
  If the block is valid, understand why the vendor is blocked and whether the process should exclude this vendor.
  
  
  
  Check Invoice or Document Level Blocks:
  
  Sometimes the block is on the invoice or document level, not the vendor master.
  Review the invoice or document for payment blocks or posting blocks.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payment Run Parameters:
  
  In payment run (F110), check if the selection parameters exclude blocked vendors.
  You may need to adjust the parameters or unblock vendors if payment is to proceed.
  
  
  
  Consult Business Process Owners:
  
  Sometimes vendors are blocked intentionally due to compliance, audit, or business reasons.
  Confirm with the responsible department before unblocking.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Vendor Master Blocks:
  
  Payment block: Prevents payments to the vendor.
  Posting block: Prevents postings to the vendor account.
  Purchasing block: Prevents purchase orders from being created for the vendor.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  XK01/XK02/XK03 – Create/Change/Display Vendor (Central)
  FK01/FK02/FK03 – Create/Change/Display Vendor (Accounting)
  F110 – Automatic Payment Run
  MRBR – Release Blocked Invoices
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to vendor blocking and payment run errors.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on vendor master data and payment processing.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WTADDI460 indicates that the system has detected blocked suppliers and therefore excludes them from processing to avoid unauthorized transactions. The solution involves reviewing and potentially removing the block on the vendor master or document level, or adjusting the process parameters accordingly.
