  The SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_BOLUI021 indicates that there are no partner schemas assigned to the account group of the supplier in the Customizing settings. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) for Supplier data management.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system attempts to process a supplier record, but it cannot find the necessary partner schema associated with the account group of the supplier. Partner schemas define the relationships and roles that can be assigned to business partners (in this case, suppliers) and are essential for managing partner functions like contact persons, vendors, etc.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that a partner schema is assigned to the relevant account group for suppliers. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Customizing:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and enter the transaction code SPRO to access the Customizing settings.
  
  
  
  Navigate to Partner Schema Settings:
  
  Follow the path: Cross-Application Components ? Master Data Synchronization ? Business Partner ? Basic Settings ? Define Partner Schemas.
  
  
  
  Check Account Group:
  
  In the partner schema settings, check if the account group associated with the supplier has a partner schema assigned. If not, you will need to assign one.
  
  
  
  Assign Partner Schema:
  
  If the account group does not have a partner schema, you can create a new partner schema or assign an existing one. Make sure that the partner schema includes the necessary partner functions that you want to use for the supplier.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save your settings.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Go back to the supplier data entry or processing transaction and check if the error persists. If the partner schema is correctly assigned, the error should no longer occur.
