SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BCOM_R - Business Communication: Messages for Rule-Based Routing

• Message number: 402

• Message text: Choose a business partner for binding for SAP_BUSINESSPARTNERGROUP

What causes this issue?

Although the attribute SAP_BUSINESSPARTNERGROUP actually represents a
business partner group, you have to choose a business partner address
from central address management from the workflow container for the
binding rather than a group. This is because the business partner group
is a classification used for routing and is otherwise not used within
the workflow.

System Response

The system then determines the business partner group independently
before transfer to the router.

How to fix this error?

Ensure that the internal router is also assigned to the scenario and
receives data. The internal router is required to determine the
business partner groups for a business parter. If it does not receive
this data when the scenario is downloaded, the determination cannot
take place.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
