• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_BOLUI059 - Partner function &1 is unique and already assigned to purchasing org. &2. ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_BOLUI059 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of a partner function to a purchasing organization in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system. Specifically, it means that the partner function you are trying to assign is already uniquely assigned to the specified purchasing organization, and therefore cannot be assigned again.
  Cause:
  
  Unique Assignment Violation: The partner function you are trying to assign is already linked to the purchasing organization in a way that does not allow for multiple assignments.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that partner functions are not duplicated for the same purchasing organization, which can lead to inconsistencies in data processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or application where you can view the partner functions assigned to the purchasing organization.

  Modify Existing Assignment:
  
  If the partner function is already assigned and you need to change it, you may need to remove the existing assignment before you can assign it again.
  Alternatively, if the partner function needs to be changed, consider assigning a different partner function that is not already in use.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Users:
  
  Discuss with relevant business stakeholders to understand the requirements for partner function assignments and ensure that the changes align with business processes.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
