• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VP100 - Partner &1 &2 not available in the document ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VP100 Partner &1 &2 not available in the document
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system expects a business partner of a certain partner function (e.g., sold-to party, ship-to party, payer, etc.) to be assigned in a sales document (such as a sales order, delivery, billing document), but the partner is missing or not maintained in the document.
  
  &1 = Partner function (e.g., SP for Sold-to party, SH for Ship-to party, PY for Payer, etc.)
  &2 = Partner number (customer/vendor number)
  
  The system is trying to find the partner with the specified partner function and number in the document but cannot find it.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The partner function is mandatory for the document type or sales area but has not been assigned.
  The partner number assigned to the partner function is incorrect or does not exist.
  The partner determination procedure is not correctly configured or assigned to the sales document type.
  The partner master data is incomplete or missing.
  The partner was deleted or changed after the document was created.
  Custom logic or user-exits that manipulate partners may have removed or failed to add the partner.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Partner Assignment in the Document:
  
  Go to the sales document (e.g., VA01/VA02 for sales order).
  Navigate to the Partners tab.
  Verify that the partner function &1 is assigned and the partner number &2 is correct.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Partner:
  
  If the partner is missing, add the required partner function and assign the correct partner number.
  
  
  
  Verify Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Check the partner determination procedure assigned to the sales document type and sales area.
  Transaction codes: VOPA (Partner determination procedures), OVX5 (Assign partner determination procedure to sales document type).
  Ensure the partner function &1 is included and set as mandatory if required.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Master Data:
  
  Verify that the partner number &2 exists and is valid in customer master (XD03/VD03).
  Check if the partner is blocked or deleted.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are user-exits or BADIs related to partner determination (e.g., USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBPA in MV45AFZZ), check if they are removing or failing to add the partner.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Correct the Document:
  
  If the document is inconsistent, try to recreate it or correct the partner data.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Partner functions are essential for business processes in SD (Sales and Distribution).
  Mandatory partner functions depend on the sales document type and business requirements.
  Partner determination procedures control which partners are proposed automatically.
  This error is common during sales order creation, delivery processing, or billing if partner data is incomplete.
  
  
  Example:
  If the error message is:
  
  VP100 Partner SP 100000 not available in the document
  
  It means the Sold-to party (SP) with customer number 100000 is missing in the sales document. You need to add this partner in the Partners tab of the sales order.
