  The SAP error message R1745, "Relationship maintenance possible only for selected partner(s)," typically occurs when you are trying to maintain relationships between business partners (BPs) in SAP, but the system has certain restrictions on which partners can be selected for relationship maintenance.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Partner Selection: The error often arises when you attempt to maintain relationships between business partners that are not compatible or not allowed by the system configuration.
