  Error Message
  VPD011 Partner determination procedure &1 has not been created
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to use a partner determination procedure that has not been defined or created in the system. Partner determination procedures are essential in SAP for defining how business partners (such as customers, vendors, or employees) are determined in various business processes (e.g., sales order processing, delivery, billing).
  Specifically, the system is looking for a partner determination procedure with the name or ID &1 (which will be replaced by the actual procedure name in the error message), but it cannot find it in the configuration.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  The partner determination procedure has not been created or maintained in the customizing.
  The procedure name is incorrectly referenced in the application or master data.
  The configuration transport was incomplete or missing.
  The relevant application or document type is assigned to a non-existent partner determination procedure.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG):
  
  For Sales and Distribution (SD):
  
  SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Partner Determination -> Set Up Partner Determination Procedures
  For other modules, the path may differ but generally involves Partner Determination settings.
  
  
  
  
  
  Verify if the Procedure Exists:
  
  Look for the partner determination procedure with the name mentioned in the error message.
  If it does not exist, create it according to your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Assign the Procedure Correctly:
  
  Ensure that the partner determination procedure is assigned to the relevant application, document type, or transaction type.
  For example, in SD, assign the partner determination procedure to the sales document type or item category.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data and Configuration:
  
  Verify that the partner determination procedure referenced in master data (e.g., customer master, vendor master) or in the transaction is correct.
  Correct any incorrect references.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If you are working in a multi-system landscape (DEV, QA, PROD), ensure that the partner determination procedure has been transported correctly.
  Check for inconsistencies between systems.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After creating or correcting the partner determination procedure, test the transaction again to confirm the error is resolved.
