• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_GPM_APPLICATION036 - Partners are assigned but program type '&1' has no determin. procedure ?

  The SAP error message CRM_GPM_APPLICATION036 indicates that there are partners assigned to a business transaction, but the program type specified does not have a determination procedure defined. This typically occurs in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when trying to process a transaction that requires partner determination.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Partner Determination Procedure: The program type (e.g., sales order, service order) does not have a partner determination procedure assigned to it. This means that the system does not know how to determine partners for this specific program type.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for partner determination may not be set up correctly in the system, leading to the inability to determine partners for the specified program type.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or modifications in the system, they might interfere with the standard partner determination process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Go to the customizing settings in SAP (Transaction SPRO).
  Navigate to Customer Relationship Management > Master Data > Business Partner > Partner Determination.
  Check if the partner determination procedure is assigned to the relevant program type.
  If it is not assigned, you will need to create or assign a partner determination procedure that fits the program type.
  
  
  
  Assign Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  If a partner determination procedure exists but is not assigned, you can assign it to the program type in the configuration settings.
  Ensure that the procedure includes the necessary partner roles that should be determined for the transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Roles:
  
  Ensure that the partner roles defined in the determination procedure are correctly set up and that they are relevant to the business process you are working with.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to see if the error persists. 
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to partner determination for any additional insights or specific configurations that may be required.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom developments, review them to ensure they are not affecting the standard partner determination logic.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner), SPRO (Customizing), or CRMD_ORDER (Order Management) to access relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on partner determination procedures.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
