  SAP Error Message: WY037 - Supplier sub-ranges still exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to delete or change a supplier master record or a supplier-related entity, but there are still supplier sub-ranges (subdivisions of the supplier number range) assigned or existing for that supplier. SAP prevents the deletion or modification because these sub-ranges are dependent on the supplier master data and must be removed or reassigned first.
  Supplier sub-ranges are often used in procurement processes to differentiate between different parts of a supplier's business or different supplier accounts under a main supplier number.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When deleting a supplier master record in transaction XK06 or MK06.
  When changing supplier number ranges or related configurations.
  When trying to delete or modify a supplier that has assigned sub-ranges in purchasing documents or master data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for existing supplier sub-ranges:
  
  Use transaction ME11 or ME12 to check if there are any purchasing info records or sub-ranges assigned to the supplier.
  Alternatively, check the table LFA1 (supplier master) and related tables like LFM1 (purchasing data for vendor) or EINA/EINE (info records) for sub-range assignments.
  
  
  
  Delete or reassign sub-ranges:
  
  If sub-ranges exist, delete them or reassign them to another supplier or number range as appropriate.
  Use transaction XK06 or MK06 to delete the supplier sub-ranges if applicable.
  Ensure that no purchasing documents or info records are linked to these sub-ranges before deletion.
  
  
  
  Check for open purchasing documents:
  
  Sometimes open purchase orders or contracts linked to sub-ranges prevent deletion.
  Close or delete these documents if possible.
  
  
  
  After clearing sub-ranges, retry the deletion or change:
  
  Once all sub-ranges are removed or reassigned, the system should allow the deletion or modification of the supplier master record.
