  SAP Error Message:
  
  VP702 - Invalid address source
  
  Cause:
  The error message VP702 - Invalid address source occurs when the system encounters an address source value that is not valid or not recognized in the context of the business partner or customer/vendor master data. This typically happens during the creation or update of partner addresses in sales documents or master data maintenance.
  In SAP, the address source indicates where the address data originates from, such as:
  
  Customer master
  Vendor master
  Business partner
  Manual entry
  Other external systems
  
  If the address source field contains a value that is not defined or allowed in the system, the error VP702 is triggered.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order processing or partner determination.
  When maintaining or replicating customer/vendor master data.
  When integrating with external systems or during data migration where address source values are mapped incorrectly.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Address Source Value:

  Validate Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Logistics General ? Business Partner ? Address Management ? Define Address Source.
  Ensure that the address source value used in the data is defined and active in the system.
  
  
  
  Correct the Address Source in Master Data or Documents:
  
  If the address source is incorrect or obsolete, update it to a valid value.
  For example, in customer master (transaction XD02/VD02), check partner functions and their address source.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Determination Procedures:
  
  Review partner determination procedures in sales documents to ensure correct address source assignment.
