• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_UIU_SEARCH005 - Criterion "Partner ID" must be combined with criterion "Partner Function" ?

  The SAP error message CRM_UIU_SEARCH005 indicates that when you are trying to perform a search in the SAP CRM system, you have specified the "Partner ID" criterion without also specifying the "Partner Function" criterion. This is a requirement in the system because the "Partner ID" alone is not sufficient to uniquely identify a partner in the context of the search.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires both criteria to ensure that the search results are accurate and relevant. The "Partner Function" helps to define the role of the partner in the business context (e.g., sold-to party, ship-to party, etc.), and without it, the system cannot determine which partner you are referring to.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to include the "Partner Function" criterion in your search query along with the "Partner ID." Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  Open the Search Screen: Navigate to the search screen where you encountered the error.
  Add Partner Function: In addition to entering the "Partner ID," make sure to select or enter the appropriate "Partner Function" that corresponds to the partner you are searching for.
  Execute the Search: After adding the required criteria, execute the search again.
