• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_GLO_010045 - No partner '&' of type '&' exists. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_GLO_010045 No partner '&' of type '&' exists typically occurs in the context of using the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) in SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a specified partner (such as a vendor, customer, or other business partner) of a certain type in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Partner Data: The specified partner (e.g., a customer or vendor) does not exist in the SAP system. This could be due to incorrect data being imported or the partner not being created in the system prior to the migration.
  Incorrect Partner Type: The partner type specified in the LSMW project may not match the type of partner that exists in the system.
  Data Mapping Issues: There may be issues with how the data is mapped in the LSMW project, leading to incorrect references to partners.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Partner Existence:
  
  Check if the partner (customer, vendor, etc.) exists in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction codes like XD03 for customers or MK03 for vendors.
  If the partner does not exist, you will need to create it using the appropriate transaction (e.g., XD01 for customers, MK01 for vendors).
  
  
  
  Check Partner Type:
  
  Ensure that the partner type specified in your LSMW project matches the type of partner you are trying to reference. For example, if you are trying to import customer data, ensure that the partner type is set to customer.
  
  
  
  Review LSMW Mapping:
  
  Go through the mapping in your LSMW project to ensure that the fields are correctly mapped and that the partner identifiers are correctly specified.
  Make sure that the source data file contains valid partner identifiers that correspond to existing partners in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Data Preparation:
  
  If you are migrating data from a legacy system, ensure that the data is clean and that all necessary partners are created in the SAP system before running the LSMW project.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary corrections, test the LSMW project with a small subset of data to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing partners in SAP, such as XD01, XD02, XD03 for customers and MK01, MK02, MK03 for vendors.
  LSMW Documentation: Review the SAP documentation on LSMW for best practices and troubleshooting tips.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully complete your data migration using LSMW.
