The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

In Customizing, use transaction OVAI to assign specific search terms to
a sold-to party (customer master record number), that transfer your
business partner into the IDoc. The data is stored in table T661W.
Based on these entries, the system tries to determine the sold-to party.
In order that the assignment can take place successfully, the system
must know at least under which supplier number your enterprise is listed
in the customer's system. In addition to this, you can also store a
"partner description" and an "unloading point" as possible assignment
criteria.
The system uses the following data for determining the sold-to party in
table T661W:
From transfer ... for search in table T661W
- VSBHDR-LIFNR_T - T661W-LIFNR (always)
- VSBHDR-KNREF_T - T661W-KNREF
- VSBHDR-ABLAD_T - T661W-ABLAD
Note that entry in LIFNR_T must always be available. You can also
correct the error if you make the respective entry in table T661W.
When restarting the verification step, you have to set the parameter
"Read input parameter customer/sold-to party again".
