  Error Message
  VP211: Ship-to party &1 is not assigned to a sold-to party
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during sales order processing or delivery creation when the system tries to assign a Ship-to party that is not linked or assigned to any Sold-to party in the customer master data.
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), the Sold-to party is the customer who places the order, and the Ship-to party is the customer location where the goods are delivered. For the system to process the order correctly, the Ship-to party must be assigned to the Sold-to party in the customer master (partner functions).
  If this assignment is missing, the system cannot determine the correct relationship and throws the VP211 error.
  
  Where the Assignment is Maintained
  
  The assignment between Sold-to party and Ship-to party is maintained in the Customer Master
