• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR135 - This partner does not exist in the organizational unit specified ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR135 - This partner does not exist in the organizational unit specified
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or reference a business partner (such as a vendor, customer, or contact person) in a particular organizational unit (e.g., company code, purchasing organization, sales organization), but the partner master data is not maintained or assigned for that organizational unit.
  In other words, the system cannot find the partner in the specified organizational unit because the partner either:
  
  Has not been created or extended for that organizational unit.
  Has not been assigned to the organizational unit in the partner master data.
  The organizational unit specified is incorrect or inconsistent with the partner master data.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During document creation (purchase order, sales order, invoice, etc.) when assigning partners.
  When maintaining or extending partner master data.
  When configuring partner functions in organizational units.
  During partner determination procedures.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Partner Master Data:
  
  Verify if the partner exists in the system.
  Check if the partner is extended to the organizational unit in question.
  
  For vendors: Use transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) and check the organizational data (company code, purchasing org).
  For customers: Use transaction XD03 or VD03 and check sales area data.
  For business partners (SAP Business Partner approach): Use transaction BP and check roles and organizational assignments.
  
  
  
  
  
  Extend Partner to Organizational Unit:
  
  If the partner is not assigned to the organizational unit, extend the partner master data to include the organizational unit.
  
  Vendors: Use XK01 or XK02 to create or extend vendor master data for the required company code or purchasing organization.
  Customers: Use XD01 or VD01 to create or extend customer master data for the required sales area.
  Business Partners: Use BP transaction to assign roles and organizational units.
  
  
  
  
  
  Verify Organizational Unit:
  
  Confirm that the organizational unit specified in the transaction or configuration is correct.
  Check if the organizational unit exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Check the partner determination procedure configuration to ensure the correct partner functions and organizational units are assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  In some cases, the error may be due to incorrect configuration in IMG related to partner functions and organizational units.
