  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/BUPA007 No business partners automatically determined typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the system is unable to automatically determine the relevant business partners (such as shippers, carriers, or customers) for a transportation requirement or order. This can happen for several reasons, and addressing the issue usually involves checking configuration settings and master data.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Master Data: The required business partner data may not be maintained in the system. This includes missing customer, vendor, or other relevant business partner records.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for business partner determination may not be set up correctly. This includes settings in the transportation management configuration that dictate how business partners are determined.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as incorrect relationships between business partners or missing assignments in the relevant master data.
  
  
  Transportation Lane Issues: If transportation lanes are not defined correctly or are missing, the system may not be able to determine the appropriate business partners.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Assignment of Roles: Business partners must have the correct roles assigned (e.g., shipper, consignee, carrier). If these roles are not assigned or are incorrect, the system will not be able to determine the business partner.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Master Data: Ensure that all necessary business partners are created and that they have the correct roles assigned. Verify that the relevant data is complete and accurate.

  Validate Transportation Lanes: Ensure that transportation lanes are defined correctly and that they include the necessary business partners. Check if the lanes are active and properly configured.
  
  
  Check Relationships: Verify that the relationships between business partners are correctly defined. For example, ensure that the shipper is linked to the correct customer and that the carrier is linked to the appropriate transportation lanes.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes such as /SCMTMS/PRT (for transportation requirements) or /SCMTMS/ORD (for transportation orders) to analyze the data and see if there are any issues with the business partner determination.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the determination process to identify where the breakdown is occurring. This may require technical expertise.
