  Error Message
  WY174: Purchasing data for supplier &1 not found
  
  &1 is a placeholder for the supplier number.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or use purchasing data for a specific supplier, but no purchasing data record exists for that supplier in the system.
  In SAP, purchasing data for a supplier is maintained in the Purchasing Info Record or Vendor Master Purchasing Data. If this data is missing or incomplete, the system cannot proceed with purchasing transactions involving that supplier.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  The supplier (vendor) master record exists but does not have purchasing data maintained.
  The purchasing info record for the material and supplier combination is missing.
  The purchasing organization or plant-specific data for the supplier is not maintained.
  The supplier is not assigned to the purchasing organization or plant in the vendor master.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the purchasing data for the supplier is properly maintained.
  Steps to fix:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Purchasing Data:
  
  Transaction: XK02 (Change Vendor)
  Enter vendor number and purchasing organization.
  Verify that purchasing data (like terms of payment, order currency, etc.) is maintained.
  If missing, maintain the required purchasing data and save.
  
  
  
  Maintain Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Transaction: ME11 (Create Purchasing Info Record)
  Enter vendor, material, purchasing organization, and plant.
  Maintain info record data such as prices, conditions, delivery times, etc.
  Save the info record.
  
  
  
  Assign Vendor to Purchasing Organization:
  
  In vendor master, ensure the vendor is assigned to the relevant purchasing organization and plant.
  
  
  
  Check if the correct purchasing organization and plant are used in the transaction.
  
  
  If using source list or quota arrangement, verify that the supplier is correctly maintained there.
