  Error Message
  VP212: Ship-to party &1 is not assigned to sold-to party &2
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during sales order processing (e.g., when creating or changing a sales order) if the Ship-to party you entered is not assigned or linked to the Sold-to party in the customer master data.
  
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), a Sold-to party is the customer who places the order.
  A Ship-to party is the customer or location where the goods are delivered.
  For a Ship-to party to be valid in a sales order, it must be assigned to the Sold-to party in the customer master (partner functions).
  
  If the Ship-to party is not assigned to the Sold-to party, SAP throws this error to prevent inconsistent or invalid partner assignments.
  
  Where the Assignment is Maintained
  The assignment between Sold-to and Ship-to parties is maintained
