  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Partner Function Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for partner functions in the relevant module (e.g., Sales and Distribution, Materials Management).
  Verify the changeability settings for the partner function in question. Ensure that it is set to allow changes if necessary.
