  WEBFI_MASTER203: Error in address version SPACE of business partner &1 category &2
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs during the processing or synchronization of Business Partner (BP) data, specifically related to the address version of the BP. The "address version SPACE" indicates that the address version field is empty or contains an invalid value.
  In SAP Business Partner master data, the address version is a key field that defines the format or version of the address data. If this field is missing or incorrect, the system cannot correctly process or map the address information, leading to this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incorrect address version in the BP master data.
  Data inconsistencies between the BP and related components (e.g., Customer/Vendor integration).
  Issues during data replication or synchronization (e.g., between CRM and ERP).
  Customizing or configuration errors where the address version is not properly maintained or assigned.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Business Partner Address Version:

  Use transaction SPRO to check the customizing for Business Partner address versions.
  Path:

  Ensure that the address version used in the BP master data exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Check Integration and Synchronization:
  
  If the BP data is replicated from another system (e.g., CRM to ERP), verify the mapping and data transfer processes.
