  Error Message
  VP333: Partner use & for item & is already assigned
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during sales document processing (e.g., sales order, delivery, billing) when you try to assign a partner function to an item, but that partner function is already assigned to the same item.
  
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), each item in a sales document can have multiple partner functions (e.g., Sold-to party, Ship-to party, Payer, etc.).
  However, each partner function can only be assigned once per item.
  If you attempt to assign the same partner function twice to the same item, the system throws this error.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When manually entering or modifying partner data in a sales document item.
  When partner determination procedures assign partners automatically and there is a configuration or master data issue causing duplicate assignments.
  When copying or referencing documents where partner data is duplicated.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the item partner assignments:
  
  Go to the sales document item partner tab and verify which partner functions are assigned.
  Remove or correct any duplicate partner function assignments for the same item.
  
  
  
  Review partner determination procedure:
  
  Check the partner determination procedure assigned to the sales document type and item category.
  Ensure that the procedure does not assign the same partner function multiple times for the same item.
  
  
  
  Check master data:
  
  Verify the customer master and material master data to ensure no conflicting partner assignments exist.
  Sometimes partner functions are derived from master data; inconsistencies can cause duplicates.
  
  
  
  Debug or analyze partner assignment logic:
  
  If the error occurs during automatic partner assignment (e.g., via user exits, BAdIs, or custom code), review the logic to prevent duplicate partner function assignments.
  
  
  
  Correct the sales document:
  
  If the document is already created, correct the partner assignments manually or delete and recreate the item if necessary.
