  Error Message Text:
  VP010 &
  
  The exact text can vary depending on the system language and context, but typically it relates to an issue in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module, often connected to partner functions or customer master data.
  
  Cause:
  The error message VP010 usually indicates a problem with partner functions in a sales document or customer master record. The ampersand (&) represents a variable part of the message, often showing the partner function code or related data.
  Common causes include:
  
  A required partner function is missing in the sales document or customer master.
  The partner function is not maintained or assigned correctly.
  The partner function is not valid for the sales area or document type.
  Incomplete or inconsistent partner data in the customer master or sales document.
  Customizing settings for partner determination are incomplete or incorrect.
  
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  When creating or processing a sales order, delivery, or billing document, the system checks for mandatory partner functions.
  If a mandatory partner function is missing or invalid, the system throws the VP010 error.
  For example, the system expects a "Sold-to party" or "Ship-to party" partner but cannot find it.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Partner Functions in the Sales Document:
  
  Go to the sales document (e.g., VA01/VA02 for sales orders).
  Verify that all mandatory partner functions are entered.
  Add missing partner functions if necessary.
  
  
  
  Verify Customer Master Data:
  
  Use transaction XD03 (Display Customer) or VD03 (Display Customer Sales Area).
  Check the partner functions assigned to the customer.
  Ensure that the partner functions are correctly maintained and active.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Use transaction VOPA or SPRO to check partner determination procedures.
  Ensure that the partner determination procedure assigned to the sales area and document type includes all mandatory partner functions.
  Adjust the procedure if necessary to include required partner functions.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Navigate to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Partner Determination.
  Verify partner function assignments and mandatory indicators.
  Make corrections if any mandatory partner function is missing or incorrectly configured.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on customer master data.
