  The SAP error message E0236, "Invalid combination of partner type and partner role," typically occurs in the context of partner determination in SAP systems, particularly in modules like Sales and Distribution (SD) or Customer Relationship Management (CRM). This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the partner type and the partner role defined in the system.
  
  Cause:
