  Solution:
  
  Check Part Classification: Verify the classification of the part you are trying to collaborate on. Ensure that it is indeed a supplier part. If it is not, you may need to change the part's classification or choose a different part that is a supplier part.
  Review Collaboration Settings: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to collaboration processes. Ensure that the settings allow for the intended parts to be included in collaboration.
  Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the part in question. Ensure that all relevant fields are correctly filled out and that the part is marked as a supplier part if it should be.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on collaboration processes and part classifications.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They may provide insights specific to your system configuration or version.
