• Message number: 559

• Message text: Only one partner function of function category &1 is allowed

What causes this issue?

&V4&: You can only use one partner function of function category &V1&.

System Response

If the function category &V1& is used more than once in a partner
determination procedure, the system may not be able to tell which
partner function should be used in the partner determination for a
particular partner when dealing with a process. For instance, two
partner functions with the function category "goods recipient" could
mean that the system chooses one partner function, while the user
intuitively assumes that the other partner function is the correct goods
recipient.

How to fix this error?

&V4&: Remove the partner function &V3& or all other partner functions
with function category &V1&.

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