  The SAP error message MDG_BS_BP_CHECK024 indicates that when creating or updating a Business Partner (BP) in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system, at least one fax number must be entered. This error typically arises during the data entry process when the system expects a fax number to be provided but none has been entered.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because the system has a validation rule that requires at least one fax number to be present for the Business Partner being created or modified. This is often a part of the data quality checks to ensure that all necessary contact information is available for the business partner.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to provide at least one valid fax number in the Business Partner data entry form. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Business Partner Data Entry Screen: Navigate to the screen where you are creating or editing the Business Partner.
  
  
  Locate the Fax Number Field: Find the section of the form where contact information is entered. This is usually under the "Address" or "Contact Information" tab.

  Related Information:
  
  Business Partner Role: Depending on the role assigned to the Business Partner (e.g., customer, vendor), the requirements for contact information may vary.
  Configuration Settings: The requirement for a fax number can be configured in the MDG settings. If your organization does not require fax numbers, you may want to discuss with your SAP administrator about adjusting the validation rules.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's SAP documentation for more details on Business Partner data requirements and validation rules.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have specific business needs that require different validation rules, consider implementing user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to customize the behavior of the Business Partner data entry process.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully create or update the Business Partner in the SAP MDG system.
