• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/UIS_MSG280 - New vendor not allowed when reference documents are provided ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/UIS_MSG280 indicating "New vendor not allowed when reference documents are provided" typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when trying to create or process a transaction that involves a vendor (supplier) for which certain conditions are not met. This error is often related to the configuration of the system regarding vendor management and document references.
  Cause:
  
  
  Vendor Configuration: The vendor you are trying to use may not be allowed for the specific transaction type when reference documents (like purchase orders, invoices, etc.) are involved. This could be due to settings in the vendor master data or specific configuration in the system.
  
  
  Document Reference: If you are trying to create a new vendor while referencing existing documents, the system may be configured to prevent the creation of new vendors in such scenarios to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Validation Rules: There may be validation rules in place that restrict the use of new vendors when certain conditions are met, such as existing reference documents.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data: Verify the vendor master data to ensure that the vendor is correctly set up and meets the necessary criteria for the transaction you are trying to perform.
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to vendor creation and reference documents. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow new vendors under certain conditions.
  
  
  Use Existing Vendor: If possible, use an existing vendor instead of creating a new one, especially if reference documents are involved.
  
  
  Error Handling: If the creation of a new vendor is necessary, consider handling the error by first creating the vendor without reference documents and then linking the necessary documents afterward.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidance or updates that may apply to your version of SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to vendor management (e.g., XK01 for vendor creation, XK02 for vendor changes).
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to create the vendor has the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further troubleshooting.
