• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BCOM_R_BPARTNERGROUP058 - First delete business parner group '&1', then set it again ?

  The SAP error message BCOM_R_BPARTNERGROUP058 indicates that there is an issue with the business partner group configuration. Specifically, the message states: "First delete business partner group '&1', then set it again." This typically occurs when there is an attempt to modify or delete a business partner group that is currently in use or has dependencies that prevent it from being changed.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Dependencies: The business partner group you are trying to delete or modify is currently assigned to one or more business partners or transactions.
  Data Integrity Constraints: SAP enforces data integrity rules that prevent the deletion of records that are still referenced elsewhere in the system.
  Incorrect Sequence of Operations: The operation you are trying to perform may not follow the required sequence, such as trying to set a business partner group without first removing it from its current assignments.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Check which business partners are currently assigned to the business partner group you are trying to delete. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., BP transaction) and reviewing the assignments.
  
  
  
  Remove Assignments:
  
  If there are business partners assigned to the group, you will need to remove those assignments first. This can typically be done in the business partner maintenance transaction (BP).
  
  
  
  Delete the Business Partner Group:
  
  Once all dependencies are cleared, you can proceed to delete the business partner group. This is usually done in the configuration settings for business partner groups.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Modify the Group:
  
  After deletion, you can recreate the business partner group or modify it as needed.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If there are any custom enhancements or logic in your SAP system that might affect the business partner group, ensure that they are not causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner), SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) for configuration, or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the underlying database tables.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to business partner groups.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed steps on managing business partner groups and understanding their dependencies.
