• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHURL132 - Function only supported for exchange partner of type customer or vendor ?

  The SAP error message VHURL132 indicates that a function you are trying to execute is only supported for exchange partners of type "customer" or "vendor." This typically occurs in scenarios involving business partner (BP) management, where the system expects the partner to be either a customer or a vendor for certain operations to be valid.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Partner Type: The business partner you are trying to use is not classified as a customer or vendor. It may be a different type of partner (e.g., a contact person, organization, etc.).

  Data Entry Error: The partner data may have been entered incorrectly, leading to the system not recognizing it as a valid customer or vendor.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Partner Type: Verify the type of the business partner you are working with. You can do this by navigating to the business partner master data and checking the classification.
  
  Use transaction code BP to access the business partner data.
  Ensure that the partner is set up as a customer or vendor.
  
  
  
  Change Partner Type: If the partner is not set up correctly, you may need to change its type to customer or vendor, depending on your business requirements.
