  Error Message
  WY017: Supplier &1 not assigned to purchasing organization &2
  
  &1 = Supplier (Vendor) number
  &2 = Purchasing Organization
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the supplier (vendor) you are trying to use in a purchasing document (e.g., Purchase Order, Request for Quotation) is not assigned or linked to the specified purchasing organization in the SAP system.
  In SAP MM (Materials Management), vendors can be assigned to different purchasing organizations. If the vendor is not assigned to the purchasing organization you are working with, the system will not allow you to create or process purchasing documents involving that vendor and purchasing organization combination.
  
  Explanation
  
  The purchasing organization is an organizational unit responsible for procurement activities.
  Vendors must be assigned to the purchasing organization to ensure proper control, pricing, and conditions.
  This assignment is maintained in the vendor master data.
  
  
  How to Check
  
  
  Vendor Master Data (Purchasing Data):  
  
  Transaction: XK02 (Change Vendor) or MK02 (Change Vendor Purchasing Data)  
  Enter the vendor number and purchasing organization.  
  Check if the purchasing organization data exists for the vendor.
  
  
  
  Vendor Master Display:  
  
  Transaction: XK03 or MK03  
  Verify if the vendor is assigned to the purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix

  Assign Vendor to Purchasing Organization:

  If Vendor Does Not Exist:

  Additional Notes
  
  Vendor assignments to purchasing organizations are important for:
  
  Pricing conditions
  Purchase order processing
  Reporting and analytics
  
  
  Sometimes, the vendor may be assigned to a different purchasing organization, so confirm the correct purchasing organization to be used.
