  The SAP error message /SPE/RET114 Deliveries &1 and &2 cannot be combined due to different partners typically occurs in the context of logistics and delivery processing within the SAP system. This error indicates that two delivery documents cannot be combined into a single delivery because they have different partner information (such as sold-to party, ship-to party, or other relevant partner roles).
  Cause:
  
  Different Partner Functions: The deliveries involved have different partner functions (e.g., different sold-to parties or ship-to parties).
  Inconsistent Data: The partner data for the deliveries does not match, which is a requirement for combining deliveries in SAP.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Adjust Deliveries:
  
  If the partner information is different and needs to be aligned, you may need to adjust one of the deliveries to match the partner information of the other delivery. This can involve changing the partner data in the delivery document.
  
  
  
  Create Separate Deliveries:
  
  If the deliveries cannot be combined due to legitimate differences in partner information, consider processing them as separate deliveries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on combining deliveries and the requirements for partner information.
