You want to change a partner who no longer exists. This situation can
occur if another user has deleted the data in the meantime. For
performance reasons the list of all partners is read at the start of
the transaction and is not refreshed at runtime. In order to get the
current partner overview, you must restart the transaction.

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