• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VP112 - Please enter sold-to party or ship-to party ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VP112 - Please enter sold-to party or ship-to party
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when creating or processing a sales document (such as a sales order, quotation, or contract) in SAP, and neither the Sold-to Party nor the Ship-to Party has been entered. At least one of these parties must be specified to proceed because:
  
  The Sold-to Party is the customer who places the order.
  The Ship-to Party is the customer location where the goods are delivered.
  
  If both fields are left blank, the system cannot determine who is ordering or receiving the goods, hence the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter Sold-to Party or Ship-to Party:
  
  When creating or editing the sales document, ensure that at least the Sold-to Party or the Ship-to Party field is filled.
  Usually, the Sold-to Party is mandatory, and the Ship-to Party can default from the Sold-to Party if not explicitly entered.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the customer master data for the Sold-to Party and Ship-to Party exists and is correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the customer numbers are valid and active.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Configuration:
  
  In some cases, the sales document type configuration might require both parties or have specific rules.
  Check the sales document type settings in transaction OVK1 or via SPRO under Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Documents ? Sales Document Header ? Define Sales Document Types.
  
  
  
  User Input Validation:
  
  Train users to always enter the Sold-to Party at a minimum.
  If Ship-to Party is different from Sold-to Party, enter it explicitly.
