  The SAP error message FIBL_RPCODE111 indicates that there is an issue with a business partner (BP) that is being referenced in a repetitive code (like a payment run or a transaction) in the context of financial accounting. Specifically, the error states that the business partner specified is not recognized as a vendor in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Business Partner Role: The business partner you are trying to use may not have been assigned the vendor role. In SAP, business partners can have multiple roles (e.g., customer, vendor, etc.), and if the vendor role is missing, the system will not recognize it as a vendor.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as the business partner not being properly set up or activated as a vendor.
  
  
  Repetitive Code Configuration: The repetitive code you are using may not be correctly configured to reference the intended vendor.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Business Partner Roles:

  Ensure that the vendor role (e.g., "FLCU00" for customers or "FLVN00" for vendors) is assigned.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Vendor Master Data:
  
  If the vendor role is missing, you can create or update the business partner to include the vendor role.
  Ensure that all required fields for the vendor master data are filled out correctly.
  
  
  
  Verify Repetitive Code Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the repetitive code in the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code F110 for payment runs).
