Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMD_API065 - Vendor &1 and customer &2 have same address no. Assignment not changed ?

  The SAP error message VMD_API065 indicates that there is a conflict in the address assignment between a vendor and a customer. Specifically, it means that both the vendor and the customer share the same address number, and as a result, the system is unable to change the assignment.
  Cause:
  
  Shared Address: The vendor and customer are linked to the same address number in the SAP system. This can happen if the same business partner is being used for both roles without proper differentiation.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces data integrity rules that prevent the same address from being assigned to both a vendor and a customer simultaneously.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Address Assignment:
  
  Go to the transaction code BP (Business Partner) and check the address details for both the vendor and the customer.
  Identify if they are indeed using the same address number.
  
  
  
  Create a Separate Address:
  
  If the vendor and customer should have different addresses, create a new address for one of them.
  You can do this by editing the address details in the Business Partner transaction and assigning a new address number.
  
  
  
  Change the Role Assignment:
  
  If the business logic allows, you may consider changing the role assignment so that the vendor and customer do not share the same address.
  
  
  
  Review Business Partner Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for business partners is set up correctly to avoid such conflicts in the future.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
