  SAP Error Message:
  VP240 - Maintain manual address for function &
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This message appears in SAP when you are trying to maintain or process a partner function in a business partner or customer/vendor master record, but the system requires you to enter or maintain a manual address for that partner function. The placeholder "&" in the message is replaced by the specific partner function code (e.g., AG for sold-to party, WE for ship-to party, etc.).
  In other words, the system expects an address to be maintained manually for the partner function because it cannot derive or copy the address automatically from other data.
  Typical causes include:
  
  The partner function requires a manual address entry, but no address has been maintained yet.
  The partner function is configured to require a manual address.
  The address data for the partner function is missing or incomplete.
  The system cannot find a valid address linked to the partner function.
