  SAP Error Message:
  
  VPD_DETERM_LOG002 The following partner check (among others) deletes the partner:
  
  Cause
  This error message typically occurs in the context of partner determination in SAP, especially in Sales and Distribution (SD) or other modules where partner functions are used (e.g., billing, delivery, etc.).
  
  The message indicates that during the partner determination process, a partner check routine is deleting a partner from the partner list.
  This usually happens because a partner determination procedure or a partner function check is configured in such a way that it removes certain partners based on specific conditions.
  The partner check routine (a user exit or BAdI) is programmed to delete partners that do not meet certain criteria.
  The message is a log or warning indicating that the partner list is being modified by the partner check logic.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During document creation or change (e.g., sales order, delivery, billing document).
  When the system runs partner determination and applies partner checks.
  When a partner check routine deletes a partner from the partner list.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Analyze the Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Check the partner determination procedure assigned to the document type or business object.
  Review the partner functions and their determination rules.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Check Routines:
  
  Identify the partner check routines assigned to the partner determination procedure.
  These routines are often implemented as user exits or BAdIs (e.g., USEREXIT_CHECK_VBPA in SD).
  Review the logic to understand why partners are being deleted.
  
  
  
  Adjust Partner Check Logic:
  
  If the deletion is unintended, modify the partner check routine to prevent deletion.
  If deletion is intended, ensure that the business process accounts for the removal of partners.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use debugging to trace the partner determination and partner check routines.
  Check which partner check routine deletes the partner and under what conditions.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  In SPRO, navigate to the partner determination customizing for the relevant application.
  Verify the partner determination procedure and partner checks.
