  SAP Error Message WY053
  Message Text:
  A purchasing info record exists for supplier sub-range &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to create or maintain a purchasing info record (PIR) for a supplier and material combination, but there is already an existing info record for a supplier sub-range that overlaps or conflicts with the data you are entering.
  
  Supplier sub-range is a subset or a specific range of suppliers defined under a main supplier.
  The system detects that an info record already exists for a supplier sub-range, which prevents creating a duplicate or conflicting info record for the same material and supplier combination.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  Purchasing info records link materials to suppliers and contain conditions, delivery data, and other procurement-related information.
  Supplier sub-ranges allow you to differentiate suppliers under a main supplier number, often used for different plants, regions, or business units.
  SAP does not allow multiple info records for
