• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_SMI089 - Use either the partner dependent or the internal parameter, not both ?

  The SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_SMI089 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration where both partner-dependent and internal parameters are being used simultaneously in a scenario where only one type is allowed. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or similar modules where partner profiles and internal settings are involved.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A configuration or transaction is attempting to use both partner-dependent parameters (which are specific to a business partner or customer) and internal parameters (which are general settings applicable across the system).
  The system is designed to accept either one of these parameters but not both at the same time, leading to a conflict.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings where the error is occurring. Identify if both partner-dependent and internal parameters are being set.
  Choose One Parameter Type: Decide whether you want to use partner-dependent parameters or internal parameters based on your business requirements. 
  
  If you need specific settings for a partner, use partner-dependent parameters.
  If the settings should apply universally, use internal parameters.
  
  
  Adjust Settings: Modify the configuration to ensure that only one type of parameter is being used. Remove or deactivate the conflicting parameter type.
  Test the Changes: After making the adjustments, test the transaction or process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or specific module documentation for detailed information on parameter settings and their implications.
