  Error Message
  VR533: Partner & already specified. Entry will be ignored
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to enter a business partner (such as a vendor, customer, or contact person) in a document or master data record, but the same partner role and partner number combination has already been entered previously. SAP does not allow duplicate partner entries with the same partner function in the same document or master data record.
  For example, if you are maintaining a purchase order or vendor master and you try to add the same partner (e.g., vendor or contact person) twice under the same partner function (e.g., ordering address), SAP will issue this message and ignore the duplicate entry.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During document entry (e.g., Purchase Order, Sales Order, Invoice).
  During master data maintenance (e.g., Vendor Master, Customer Master).
