WY182 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WY182 - Partner & is a one-time supplier
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a business partner in a transaction is flagged as a one-time supplier in SAP, but the system expects a regular (master data maintained) vendor. One-time suppliers are used for vendors that are not maintained in the vendor master data and are typically used for one-off transactions.
  In other words, the system is trying to process a transaction with a partner that is set up as a one-time supplier, but the transaction or document type requires a regular vendor master record.
  
  Explanation:
  
  One-time supplier means the vendor is not maintained in the vendor master (LFA1) but is entered directly in the transaction.
  Certain transactions or document types do not allow one-time suppliers because they require vendor master data for validation, tax calculation, or reporting.
  The error message WY182 is triggered when the system detects that the partner is flagged as a one-time supplier
