• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MD_BP028 - Redirecting to transaction BP, as transaction & is obsolete ?

  The SAP error message MD_BP028 indicates that the transaction you are trying to access is obsolete and that the system is redirecting you to the Business Partner (BP) transaction. This typically occurs when you attempt to use a transaction code that has been replaced or deprecated in favor of a newer transaction or functionality.
  Cause:
  
  Obsolete Transaction: The transaction code you are trying to use has been marked as obsolete in the SAP system. This is common in newer versions of SAP where the Business Partner concept has been introduced to unify the management of business partners (customers, vendors, etc.).
  System Upgrade: If your SAP system has been upgraded to a newer version, certain transactions may no longer be available, and users are redirected to the Business Partner transaction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use the Business Partner Transaction: Instead of using the obsolete transaction, you should use the Business Partner transaction (BP). This transaction allows you to manage all aspects of business partners, including customers and vendors.
  
  You can access it by entering the transaction code BP in the command field.
  
  
  Training and Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the Business Partner functionality. SAP provides documentation and training materials that can help you understand how to use the BP transaction effectively.
  Check Customizations: If your organization has custom transactions that are now obsolete, you may need to update your processes or training materials to reflect the new transaction codes and functionalities.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Business Partner Concept: The Business Partner approach in SAP is designed to streamline the management of business relationships. It allows for a single view of all business partners, regardless of their role (customer, vendor, etc.).
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check SAP Notes for any specific guidance related to the transition from the old transaction to the Business Partner transaction. SAP Help Portal also provides extensive documentation on the Business Partner functionality.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the Business Partner transaction. If you encounter issues, contact your SAP security administrator.
  
  By transitioning to the Business Partner transaction, you will be able to manage your business relationships more effectively and in line with SAP's current best practices.
