  Error Message
  VR532 - Specify partner function for partner number
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you enter a partner number in a sales document (such as a sales order, delivery, billing document, etc.) without specifying the corresponding partner function. In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), each partner number must be assigned a partner function (e.g., Sold-to party, Ship-to party, Payer, Bill-to party). The system requires both the partner number and the partner function to correctly identify the role of the partner in the transaction.
  If you enter only the partner number without the partner function, the system cannot determine the role of that partner, hence it throws the VR532 error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order creation or change (VA01/VA02)
  During delivery processing (VL01N/VL02N)
  During billing document creation (VF01/VF02)
  Any transaction where partner data is maintained or entered
