SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: R1 - Business Partner Messages from S_BUPA_GENERAL

• Message number: 777

• Message text: & cannot be planned

What causes this issue?

The BP relationships and role definitions have a validity interval. For
this reason, the data must always be created or changed in the
database. The relationship/role definition data is then active
immediately, even if the business partner data is not activated until
later.
If the business partner is flagged at the time of its creation - that
is, if the business partner does not yet exist in the database - then
no BP relationships or role definitions can be created.

System Response

Depending on whether the business partner is already activated,
maintenance will either be permitted or refused.
