  The SAP error message FLBP130, which states "Do not enter current business partner as alternative dunning recipient," typically occurs in the context of dunning processes in SAP. This error indicates that the system does not allow the same business partner (customer or vendor) to be designated as both the primary recipient of dunning notices and as an alternative dunning recipient.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Review Business Partner Roles: If you need to use the same business partner for different roles, consider reviewing the roles assigned to the business partner in the system. You may need to create a separate business partner for the alternative dunning recipient if necessary.
  
  
  Adjust Dunning Configuration: If your business process requires the same business partner to be both the primary and alternative recipient, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to review and possibly adjust the dunning configuration settings. However, this should be done with caution, as it may have implications for your dunning process.
