  SAP Error Message:
  
  VPD_DETERM_LOG011: Error occurred when adding automatically determined credit partner
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs during the automatic determination of a credit partner in the SAP Credit Management (FI-AR-CR) or Sales and Distribution (SD) module. The system tries to assign a credit control area or credit partner automatically based on predefined rules or partner functions but fails due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing or incorrect configuration in credit management master data or partner determination procedures.
  The credit partner master record does not exist or is incomplete.
  The partner function assigned for credit management is not maintained or incorrectly maintained in the customer master or sales document.
  The credit control area is not assigned properly to the company code or customer.
  Inconsistent or missing customizing settings in transaction OVAK (Credit Control Area) or partner determination procedures.
  The system cannot find a valid credit partner because of missing or incorrect partner determination procedure in the sales document type or customer master.
  Authorization issues or data inconsistencies in the credit management tables.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Verify the partner determination procedure assigned to the sales document type or customer master.
  Use transaction VOPA or VOTXN to check partner functions and procedures.
  Ensure the partner function used for credit management (usually AG or a custom function) is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Verify Credit Partner Master Data:
  
  Check if the credit partner exists in the system.
  Use transaction FD32 (Change Credit Management Data) or FD33 (Display Credit Management Data) to verify credit master data.
  Ensure the credit control area is assigned to the credit partner.
  
  
  
  Check Credit Control Area Assignment:
  
  Use transaction OB45 to verify the assignment of credit control areas to company codes.
  Ensure the credit control area is correctly assigned to the customer master record (transaction XD03 or FD32).
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  Check the settings in transaction OVAK for credit control area configuration.
  Verify partner determination settings in SPRO under Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Partner Determination.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on customer master data.
  Ensure no missing or inconsistent entries in tables related to credit management (e.g., KNKK, KNKA).
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, enable debugging or check application logs (SLG1) for detailed error traces.
  Analyze the program or user-exit where the credit partner is determined automatically.
