  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS660 - Target partner schema &1 has fewer partner roles than source schema &2 ?
    The SAP error message:
    WS660 Target partner schema &1 has fewer partner roles than source schema &2
    
    Meaning / Cause
    This error occurs during the configuration or processing of IDoc partner profiles in SAP ALE/EDI. It indicates that the target partner schema (the schema assigned to the receiving partner) has fewer partner roles defined than the source partner schema (the schema assigned to the sending partner).
    In other words, the partner schema on the receiving side does not include all the partner roles that exist in the sending side's partner schema. Since partner roles define the roles a partner can play in message exchange (e.g., LS - Logical System, KU - Customer, LI - Vendor, etc.), having fewer roles in the target schema means the system cannot properly map or process all the roles expected from the source schema.
