• Message number: 129

• Message text: You must specify a business partner as a &1 for the receivable

What causes this issue?

In the collateral pool agreement, you have not specified the external
pool banks in the partner function <ZK>lender</>.

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

<ZH>Background:</>
You want automatic generation of links to receivables of external pool
banks. The rules must store the information of the lender pool bank that
owns the external receivables. Therefore, for each borrower, you must
specify the pool bank that owns the external receivables in partner
function <ZK>l<DS:DE.CMS_DTE_LENDER>lender</>. </> This identification
of the lender is necessary for internally identifying the external pool
bank and subsequently generating automatic links to the external
receivables.
<ZH>Consider the following example:</>
Borrower XYZ has loans with two banks: Bank A stores the pool agreement
(with wide declaration of purpose) & Bank B is an external pool
bank member. You want to assign the receivables of Bank B through
automatic link generation. To do this, Collateral Management requires
the identification of the Bank B (pool member). Therefore, while
specifying the rules, for each borrower of external receivables, you
must assign Bank B in partner function <ZK>lender</>. This information
will be used internally for generating automatic links to the external
receivables (of Bank B).

System Response

The system warns that the external receivable will not be linked to the
collateral pool during the automatic assignment of receivables to
collateral agreements if the credit grantor is not specified.
