  Error Message
  WY129: No supplier sub-range maintained for supplier & in language &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or use a supplier sub-range (a subdivision of a supplier's number range) for a particular supplier, but no sub-range has been maintained or defined for that supplier in the specified language.
  In SAP, supplier sub-ranges are used to allocate specific number ranges to suppliers for document numbering or other purposes. If the system expects a sub-range but none is maintained, it cannot proceed, resulting in this error.
  
  When Does It Occur?
  
  During procurement processes such as creating purchase orders or invoices.
  When the system tries to assign a number from a supplier-specific number range but finds no sub-range defined.
  Possibly during vendor master data maintenance or number range assignment checks.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Maintain Supplier Sub-Range:
  
  Go to the transaction or customizing path where supplier sub-ranges are maintained.
  Typically, this is done in SPRO under:
  Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Number Ranges -> Define Number Ranges for Vendor Sub-Ranges
  
  Or directly via transaction SNRO or SNUM depending on your SAP version and configuration.
  Define and assign the appropriate sub-range for the supplier in question and for the relevant language.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Verify if the vendor master data is correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the vendor number and language settings correspond to the sub-range maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  The error message includes a language parameter.
  Make sure that the sub-range is maintained for the language in which the transaction is being processed.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP MM/SD Consultant:
  
  If unsure about the number range configuration, consult with your SAP MM or SD consultant to verify the number range setup and vendor master data.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Supplier sub-ranges are often used to control document numbering for vendors, especially in scenarios where multiple vendors share a number range object but need separate sub-ranges.
  The language parameter in the error message indicates that the sub-range maintenance is language-dependent, so sub-ranges might need to be maintained for each language used in the system.
  This error is related to number range objects and vendor master data configuration.
