  The SAP error message R11353, "Initial creation of a BP with restricted validity not allowed," typically occurs when you are trying to create a Business Partner (BP) with a validity period that is restricted or not allowed during the initial creation process. This error is often related to the configuration settings in the SAP system regarding the validity of business partners.

  Solution:
  
  Check Validity Dates: Ensure that the validity dates you are trying to set for the Business Partner are correct. If you are trying to set a restricted validity period, consider using an open-ended validity (e.g., from the current date to a far future date).
  Review Configuration: Consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to review the configuration settings for Business Partner creation. They may need to adjust the settings to allow for the creation of BPs with restricted validity.
  Use Correct Role: Ensure that you are using the correct Business Partner role that allows for the creation of BPs with the desired validity settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on creating Business Partners and the implications of validity periods.
