  SAP Error Message: WY001
  Text: Supplier sub-range & not created for supplier &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or use a supplier sub-range that has not been created or maintained for the specified supplier in the system. In SAP, a supplier sub-range is a subdivision of a supplier, often used to differentiate between different parts, plants, or business units within the same supplier.
  The system expects that the supplier sub-range exists for the supplier before you can use it in transactions such as purchasing documents, invoice verification, or material master data.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The placeholder & in the message will be replaced by the actual sub-range and supplier number when the error occurs.
  The sub-range must be explicitly created and linked to the supplier in the system.
  If the sub-range is missing, SAP cannot process the transaction because it cannot identify the correct supplier subdivision.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create the Supplier Sub-Range:
  
  Go to the transaction ME11 (Create Purchasing Info Record) or the relevant customizing transaction.
  Alternatively, use Transaction XK02 or MK02 to maintain supplier master data.
  Navigate to the supplier sub-range maintenance screen.
  Create the missing supplier sub-range for the supplier.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Verify if the supplier sub-range is required in your business process.
  Check the configuration in SPRO under:
  Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Vendor Master -> Define Supplier Sub-Ranges
  
  Ensure that the sub-range is properly defined and assigned.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Consistency:
  
  Check if the supplier and sub-range combination exists in the system.
  If you are using a third-party interface or data upload, ensure the data includes valid sub-range entries.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transaction Data:
  
  If the sub-range is not needed, remove or correct the sub-range field in the transaction or master data.
