  The SAP error message WU172 indicates that the system could not find a supplier for a specific material in a particular storage location. This error typically arises during procurement processes, such as when trying to create a purchase order or when performing a goods movement.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Vendor Master Data: The vendor (supplier) may not be set up correctly in the system for the specified material.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material may not have been assigned to any vendor in the purchasing view of the material master.
  Purchasing Info Record: There may be no purchasing info record for the material and vendor combination.
  Incorrect Item Category: The item category specified may not be appropriate for the transaction being performed.
