  The SAP error message >2090 indicates that a payment cannot be processed for a specific partner because either the partner itself or the associated account is locked. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, such as vendor payments or customer payments, where certain conditions must be met for the transaction to proceed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Locked Partner: The partner (vendor or customer) identified by &1 is locked in the system. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The partner has been flagged for review or audit.
  The partner's account is inactive or has been deactivated.
  The partner has outstanding issues that need to be resolved.
  
  
  
  Locked Account: The account identified by &3 is locked. This could happen if:
  
  The account is under review or has been flagged for some compliance issues.
  The account has been manually locked by a user or administrator.
  
  
  
  Locked Partner Relationship: The relationship between the two partners (&1 and &2) may be locked, preventing any transactions from being processed.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Partner Status:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., vendor master data or customer master data) and check the status of the partner &1.
  If the partner is locked, you may need to unlock it or resolve any issues that led to the lock.
  
  
  
  Check Account Status:
  
  Similarly, check the status of the account &3. If it is locked, determine the reason for the lock and take appropriate action to unlock it.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Relationships:
  
  If the error involves a relationship between partners &1 and &2, check the relationship settings in the system to ensure they are valid and not locked.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to unlock the partner or account, consult with your SAP administrator or the relevant department (e.g., finance or compliance) to address the issue.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Compliance:
  
  Ensure that any actions taken to unlock partners or accounts comply with your organization's policies and procedures.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as XK03 (Display Vendor), FD03 (Display Customer), or BP (Business Partner) to check the status of the partners and accounts.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify partner and account statuses.
  Audit Trail: Keep a record of any changes made to partner or account statuses for audit purposes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
