  Error Message
  WG224: Partner function &1 is not allowed
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to assign or use a partner function in a sales document or business transaction where that particular partner function is not defined or allowed.
  In SAP, partner functions define the roles of business partners in a transaction (e.g., Sold-to party, Ship-to party, Payer, Bill-to party). Each sales document type or transaction type has a predefined set of allowed partner functions. If you try to assign a partner function that is not configured or allowed for that document type, SAP throws this error.
  
  Common Scenarios
  
  Assigning a partner function that is not maintained in the partner determination procedure for the sales document type.
  Using a partner function in a transaction where it is not relevant or allowed.
  Customizing or master data inconsistencies where partner functions are incorrectly assigned.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Partner Determination ? Set Up Partner Determination.
  Verify the partner determination procedure assigned to the sales document type.
  Check if the partner function in question is included in the partner determination procedure.
  
  
  
  Maintain Partner Functions:
  
  If the partner function is missing but required, add it to the partner determination procedure for the relevant sales document type.
  Ensure the partner function is correctly configured with the appropriate partner type and partner role.
  
  
  
  Check Sales Document Type Configuration:
  
  Verify that the sales document type allows the partner function.
  Adjust the configuration if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the business partner master data to ensure that the partner functions assigned are valid and consistent with the transaction.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the sales document creation or transaction again to confirm the error is resolved.
