• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IX080 - & partner(s) deleted according to partner determination procedure ?

  The SAP error message IX080, which states "Partner(s) deleted according to partner determination procedure," typically occurs in the context of partner determination in SAP, particularly when dealing with business partners in sales and distribution (SD) or other modules that utilize partner functions.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the system has determined that certain partners (such as sold-to party, ship-to party, payer, etc.) have been deleted or are not valid according to the partner determination procedure defined in the system. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Partner Deletion: The partner (customer, vendor, etc.) has been marked as deleted in the system.
  Partner Determination Procedure: The partner determination procedure does not find a valid partner for the specified role based on the criteria set in the configuration.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the partner may be incomplete or incorrectly configured.
  Changes in Configuration: Recent changes in partner determination settings or partner roles may have led to the deletion of previously valid partners.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IX080 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Partner Master Data:
  
  Go to the transaction code BP (Business Partner) or VD03 (Display Customer) to check if the partner in question exists and is not marked as deleted.
  Ensure that the partner has the necessary roles assigned (e.g., sold-to, ship-to, payer).
  
  
  
  Review Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for partner determination (transaction code SPRO).
  Check the partner determination procedure assigned to the relevant document type (e.g., sales order, delivery).
  Ensure that the procedure includes the necessary partner functions and that the sequence is correct.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the partner determination settings, review those changes to ensure they are correct and have not inadvertently removed valid partners.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Data:
  
  Try creating a document (e.g., sales order) with different partner data to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is specific to certain partners.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to partner determination and the specific error message for additional insights.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
