SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRM_MKTPL_PAR - Messages for Assigning Partner Functions

• Message number: 001

• Message text: Parties involved are already assigned; assign a type

What causes this issue?

&V1& &V2&: Parties involved have been assigned to this marketing
project. However, there is currently no campaign type/trade promotion
type/marketing plan type assigned.

System Response

The partner determination procedure is determined using the type. If the
type is not assigned or deleted, although parties involved are assigned
to the marketing project, the assigned parties involved cannot be
validated. It is therefore not permitted to assign parties involved
without assigning a type.

How to fix this error?

You have two options:
1. Assign a type to marketing project &V2& that has a partner
determination procedure assigned to it in Customizing.
2. If you do not want to assign a type, delete all parties involved that
are assigned to marketing project &V2&.

Procedure for System Administrators

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