Specifically, it means that the system is trying to contact a partner (such as a vendor, customer, or other business partner) that has not been assigned the required role in the relevant master data.
  Cause:

  Ensure that the required partner role is assigned. For example, if the error is related to a customer, check if the "Sold-to Party" role is assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the required role is missing, you can assign it by editing the partner's master data. Make sure to save the changes.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Check the partner determination procedure in the relevant configuration settings (e.g., in Sales and Distribution or Materials Management).
  Ensure that the partner roles are correctly defined and that the system can determine the necessary partners based on the transaction type.
  
  
  
  Test the Transaction Again:
