  Meaning / Cause:
  
  Message WY043 typically occurs in the context of Logistics Invoice Verification (LIV) or related procurement processes.
  The error indicates that the system cannot find the combination of LTSNR (Supplier Number) and WERKS (Plant) in the system.
  This usually means that the supplier number and plant combination is not maintained or does not exist in the system for the purchasing organization (POrg).
  The system is trying to process a transaction (TA) for a supplier and plant combination that is not valid or not set up in the master data.
  This can happen during invoice verification, purchase order processing, or goods receipt when the system checks for valid supplier-plant relationships.
  
  
  Cause Details:
  
  
  Missing Supplier-Plant Relationship:
  
  The supplier is not assigned to the plant in the system. The system expects that the supplier is valid for the plant where the transaction is being posted.
  
  
  Incorrect or Missing Master Data:  
  
  Supplier master data (LFA1/LFB1 tables) might be incomplete or missing the plant assignment.
  Purchasing info records or source lists might be missing or not maintained properly.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Transaction Data:

  Check Purchasing Info Records:
