• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message B1031 - No (active) partner profile: sender & & &, message type & ?

  The SAP error message B1031 indicates that there is no active partner profile for the specified sender and message type in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Application Link Enabling (ALE) when the system is trying to process a message but cannot find the necessary configuration to route it correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Partner Profile: The most common cause is that the partner profile for the sender (the system or organization sending the message) is not defined or is inactive.
  Incorrect Configuration: The partner profile may be incorrectly configured, or the message type may not be associated with the correct partner profile.
  Inactive Status: The partner profile might exist but is set to inactive, preventing the system from using it.
  Message Type Not Defined: The message type specified in the error may not be defined in the partner profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Partner Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction code WE20 (for EDI) or SALE (for ALE).
  Look for the partner profile associated with the sender. Ensure that it exists and is active.
  If it does not exist, create a new partner profile with the necessary configurations.
  
  
  
  Activate Partner Profile:
  
  If the partner profile exists but is inactive, activate it. You can do this in the same transaction (WE20 or SALE) by selecting the profile and changing its status.
  
  
  
  Verify Message Type:
  
  Ensure that the message type specified in the error message is correctly defined in the partner profile. You can check this in the partner profile configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Logical System:
  
  Ensure that the logical system for the sender is correctly defined and that it matches the configuration in the partner profile.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to see if the error persists.
