• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_CUST_BOLUI020 - No unique business partner group assigned to account group &1 (&2) ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_CUST_BOLUI020 indicates that there is no unique business partner group assigned to the specified account group in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a business partner and the system cannot determine the appropriate business partner group for the specified account group.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The primary cause of this error is usually a configuration issue in the system where the mapping between account groups and business partner groups is not set up correctly.
  Missing Assignments: The account group you are trying to use does not have a corresponding business partner group assigned in the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data or settings that prevent the system from identifying a unique business partner group.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) and navigate to the relevant settings for Business Partner.
  Check the configuration for the account group and ensure that it is correctly assigned to a business partner group.
  
  
  
  Assign Business Partner Group:
  
  If the account group does not have a business partner group assigned, you need to create or assign a business partner group to the account group.
  This can typically be done in the following path:
  SPRO -> Cross-Application Components -> Master Data Governance -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Define Business Partner Groups
  
  
  
  
  Review Account Group Settings:
  
  Ensure that the account group you are using is correctly defined and that it is intended for the type of business partner you are trying to create (e.g., customer, vendor).
  
  
  
  Check for Unique Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the account group is uniquely assigned to a single business partner group. If multiple groups are assigned, the system may not be able to determine which one to use.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the creation or modification of the business partner again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner) to access the business partner master data directly.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the configuration settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring business partners and account groups.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation, as there may be additional underlying issues affecting the configuration.
