• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AO222 - Use different partner functions ?

  The SAP error message AO222 ("Use different partner functions") typically occurs in the context of partner determination in SAP, particularly when dealing with business partners in sales and distribution (SD) or other modules that involve partner functions.
  
  Cause:
  The error AO222 is triggered when there is an attempt to assign the same partner function to multiple partners in a way that is not allowed by the system configuration. For example, if you are trying to assign the same partner function (like "Sold-to Party" or "Ship-to Party") to more than one partner in a transaction, SAP will raise this error to prevent data inconsistencies.
