How To Fix COM_PARTNER149 - Partner determination was interrupted by an incorrect partner

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COM_PARTNER - Partner Processing Messages

• Message number: 149

• Message text: Partner determination was interrupted by an incorrect partner

What causes this issue?

A partner, from which the reservation for other partner functions
should be derived, is incorrect.
In at least one access sequence (e.g. sequence &V2&) of the partner
determination procedure &V1& there is an access which should not be
performed in case of an incorrect source.

How to fix this error?

Correct the incorrect partner (e.g. by creating the partner or adding
missing master data) or the data in the partner's environment which
have led to his incorrect state (e.g. wrong organizational data).
As soon as the partner is correct, partner determination can continue.
Another possibility is to have the relevant access in the access
sequence carried out in an incorrect source. This, however, makes sense
only in exceptional cases, as the reasons for an incorrect partner call
a correct partner determination into question (e.g. wrong
organizational data).
