How To Fix CRM_MKTPL_PAR002 - Parties involved already assigned; assign partner determination procedure

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRM_MKTPL_PAR - Messages for Assigning Partner Functions

• Message number: 002

• Message text: Parties involved already assigned; assign partner determination procedure

What causes this issue?

&V1& &V2&: Parties involved have been assigned to this marketing
project. However, there is no partner determination procedure assigned
to type "&V4&" (&V3&).

System Response

The partner determination procedure is determined from the type. If you
select a type that does not have a partner determination procedure
assigned to it in Customizing although parties involved are assigned to
the marketing project, the assigned parties involved cannot be
validated. You therefore need to choose a type with a partner
determination procedure assigned if parties involved are assigned to the
marketing project.

How to fix this error?

You have three options:
1. Assign a type to the marketing project &V2& to which a partner
determination procedure is assigned in Customizing.
2. Assign a partner determination procedure for the selected type "&V4&"
(&V3&) in Customizing.
3. If you do not want to change the type, delete all assigned parties
involved for 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.
