    If partners required by the system are missing in a partner
    determination procedure, problems may occur when processing
    transactions. For example, if a transaction requires the partner
    function "ship-to party" in a partner determination procedure and this
    partner function is not specified, the transaction cannot carry out a
    <ZK> <ZH>correct tax determination</></> since the system searches for
    a corresponding partner in the document in vain.

    How to fix this error?

    Assign a partner function of the respective function category &V1& to
    the partner determination procedure, since such a partner function is
    required for the transactions of object "&V2&".
