• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY057 - Purchasing data for VSR & already created ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WY057 - Purchasing data for VSR & already created
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error message typically occurs when you try to create or maintain purchasing data for a Vendor-Specific Requisition (VSR) or Vendor-Specific Request, but the purchasing data for that particular vendor and material combination already exists in the system.
  In other words, the system is preventing duplicate entries of purchasing info records or data related to a vendor and material because such data has already been created.
  
  Detailed Explanation:
  
  VSR (Vendor-Specific Requisition) refers to a requisition or purchasing document that is specific to a particular vendor.
  When you attempt to create purchasing data (such as an info record or source list entry) for a vendor and material combination that already exists, SAP throws this error to avoid duplication.
  This ensures data consistency and prevents conflicts in purchasing processes.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Creating an info record for a vendor-material combination that already has an info record.
  Trying to assign purchasing data to a VSR when the data is already maintained.
  Attempting to create a source list entry or quota arrangement that duplicates existing data.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check Existing Data:
  
  Use transaction ME13 (Display Purchasing Info Record) or ME11 (Create Purchasing Info Record) to check if the info record for the vendor-material combination already exists.
  If it exists, you can display or change it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Creation:
  
  If you need to update purchasing data, use the change transaction (ME12) instead of creating a new record.
  If you are working with source lists, check with ME03 (Display Source List) to verify existing entries.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Old Data (if applicable):
  
  If the existing data is obsolete or incorrect, consider deleting or archiving it before creating new data.
  Be cautious with deletion as it may affect purchasing processes.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor and Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the vendor and material master data are correctly maintained and consistent.
  
  
  
  Consult with Purchasing Team:
  
  Sometimes, the purchasing department may have specific rules or restrictions on vendor-material combinations.
  Confirm with them before making changes.
  
  
  
  
  Related Transactions:
  
  ME11 - Create Purchasing Info Record
  ME12 - Change Purchasing Info Record
  ME13 - Display Purchasing Info Record
  ME03 - Display Source List
  ME01 - Maintain Source List
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  This error is a standard SAP message to maintain data integrity.
  If you believe the error is incorrect or due to a system issue, check for any custom validations or user exits that might be enforcing additional checks.
  Review SAP Notes or OSS messages if the problem persists after verifying data.
