G4012 - Details

• The SAP error message G4012 indicates that there is an issue related to the partner function in the context of a sales document or transaction. Specifically, it suggests that the partner identified is a CI (Customer Invoice) or NPI (Non-Payment Invoice) partner, and as such, it cannot have direct charges associated with it.
  
  Cause:
  
  Partner Function Misconfiguration: The partner function assigned to the customer or vendor may not be set up correctly for the type of transaction being processed.
  Incorrect Partner Role: The partner role being used may not support direct charges. For example, CI/NPI partners are typically used for invoicing purposes and do not allow for direct billing.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data of the partner, such as missing or incorrect information that prevents the system from processing direct charges.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Partner Functions: Check the partner functions assigned to the customer or vendor in the master data. Ensure
