Cause

Standard Sytem behaviour.

If Creation indicator of the Purchase Requisition is 'F' (Production order) or 'S' (Self-Service Procurement) then a Fixed Supplier without an Info Record can be assigned.
For a Purchase Requisition with any other creation source the following applies.
- If a Material ID is provided in the item, then a Fixed Supplier without an Info Record can be assigned only if the message 06341 is set as a warning.
- If a Material ID is NOT provided, and the 'PO Price' field is maintained as “Do not Adopt” then a fixed Supplier can be assigned only if the message 06334 is set as a warning.
- If a Material ID is NOT provided, and the 'PO Price' field is maintained as “Adopt as Gross Price / Adopt as Net Price" then a Fixed supplier without an Info Record can be assigned.

** The 'PO Price' field value is only considered when no material ID is supplied in the item.

Resolution

It is possible to change the message types from an error to a warning via configuration node 'Define Attributes of System Messages' (SSCUI 102364)
Otherwise maintain the required info record master data or set the 'Price Adopt' field value according to the requirements outlined above in the Purchase Requisition item.
