  SAP Error Message:
  
  WJ213 - You must enter a bill-to party for the additional
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to process a transaction (such as creating or changing a sales document, delivery, or billing document) that requires a Bill-to Party to be specified for an additional recipient or partner function, but the system finds that this information is missing.
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), the Bill-to Party is a key partner function responsible for receiving the invoice. Certain business processes or configurations require that every additional partner (e.g., Ship-to Party, Payer, or other custom partner functions) must have a corresponding Bill-to Party assigned. If this is not maintained, the system throws the WJ213 error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During sales order creation or change.
  When maintaining partner functions in sales documents.
  When processing deliveries or billing documents where partner determination is involved.
  In scenarios involving additional recipients or partner functions that require a Bill-to Party.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Bill-to Party:
  
  Go to the partner tab in the sales document or relevant transaction.
  Ensure that the Bill-to Party partner function is filled in correctly.
  If you are adding an additional partner, make sure the Bill-to Party is assigned for that partner.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Verify the partner determination procedure assigned to the sales document type or transaction.
  Ensure that the Bill-to Party is mandatory and correctly configured.
  If custom partner functions are used, check their configuration in SPRO under:
  Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Partner Determination -> Partner Determination in Sales Documents
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the customer master data (XD03/VD03) for the Bill-to Party.
  Make sure the Bill-to Party is active and correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Customizing Adjustments:
  
  If the error arises due to custom developments or partner functions, review the user exits or BADIs that might influence partner determination.
  Adjust the logic to ensure the Bill-to Party is always entered or defaulted.
