  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Business Partner Existence:
  
  Check if the business partner exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the Business Partner transaction (e.g., BP transaction code) and searching for the relevant business partner ID.

  Correct User-Business Partner Mapping:
  
  Ensure that the user is correctly mapped to an existing business partner. This may involve updating the user profile or the business partner data to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  Remove or Update the User from the Item:
