  Verify that the partner procedure &1 exists and is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check the partner object &2

  Verify that the partner object &2 is valid and correctly assigned to the partner procedure.
  
  
  
  Check the document type and partner procedure assignment  
  
  Verify that the document type you are processing is assigned the correct partner procedure.

  Solution / Resolution
  
  
  Correct the partner procedure assignment:
  
  Ensure that the partner procedure &1 is correctly assigned to the document type or business object you are working with.
  
  
  Verify partner object validity:
  
  Make sure the partner object &2 is valid and correctly maintained in the partner determination procedure.
  
  
  Adjust customizing if necessary:
