  The SAP error message /SCMUI/UIAPOMD639 Partner &1 does not exist typically indicates that the system is unable to find a specified business partner in the system. This error can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with business partner data in SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or related modules.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Business Partner: The specified partner (indicated by &1) does not exist in the system. This could be due to data entry errors, or the partner may not have been created yet.
  Incorrect Partner Role: The partner may exist, but it might not have the required role assigned to it for the transaction you are trying to perform.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If your system is integrated with other systems (like CRM or ERP), there may be synchronization issues leading to the partner not being available in the SCM system.

  Data Synchronization:
