  Create or Edit Business Partner:

  Assign the Required Role:
  
  In the roles section, add either FLVN00 or FLVN01 to the list of assigned roles.
  Ensure that all mandatory fields for the selected role are filled out correctly.

  Business Partner Configuration: Ensure that the roles are properly configured in the system. You can check this in the customizing settings under SPRO > Cross-Application Components > Master Data Synchronization > Business Partner > Define Roles.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or edit business partners and assign roles.
