  Error Message
  VN320 - Possible entries designed only for mail partners, addresses and PDORGObj
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs when you try to assign or use a partner function or partner type in a transaction or master data maintenance that is restricted to certain partner categories. Specifically, the system expects the partner to be one of the following:
  
  Mail partners (partners used for communication via email)
  Addresses (address objects)
  PDORGObj (Organizational objects in the Partner Determination procedure)
  
  If you attempt to assign a partner that does not belong to these categories, the system throws this error.
  In other words, the partner function or partner type you are trying to use is configured to accept only partners of these specific types, and the partner you entered does not meet this criterion.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During partner determination in purchasing documents (e.g., Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order)
  When maintaining vendor master data or partner functions in vendor master or customer master
  When assigning partners in communication or organizational roles where only mail partners, addresses, or organizational objects are allowed
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Partner Type:
  
  Verify the partner type you are trying to assign.
  Ensure that the partner is either a mail partner, an address, or an organizational object (PDORGObj).
  
  
  
  Adjust Partner Function Configuration:
  
  If you are customizing partner determination procedures, check the partner function settings.
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Partner Determination ? Set Up Partner Determination.
  Verify that the partner function allows the partner type you want to assign.
  If necessary, adjust the partner function to accept other partner types or create a new partner function suitable for your needs.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Partner:
  
  Use a partner that is valid for the partner function.
  For example, if the partner function is designed for mail partners, assign a mail partner.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify the master data of the partner you are trying to assign.
  Ensure that the partner is maintained correctly as a mail partner, address, or organizational object.
  
  
  
  Consult Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Review the partner determination procedure assigned to the document or master data.
  Make sure the procedure is correctly configured to handle the partner types you intend to use.
