  Error Message
  WS762: No partner data exists for document &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to process a document (such as a sales order, delivery, billing document, or IDoc) that requires partner data (e.g., sold-to party, ship-to party, payer, etc.), but no partner data has been maintained or found for that document.
  In SAP, partner functions are essential for business documents to define roles of involved parties. If the partner data is missing or incomplete, the system cannot proceed with certain processes like output determination, partner determination, or document processing.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  Partner determination procedure is not assigned or configured properly.
  Partner data is not maintained in the document header or item level.
  Custom or standard partner determination routines fail to find partner data.
  Data inconsistencies or missing master data (e.g., customer master missing partner roles).
  During IDoc processing, the partner segment is missing or incomplete.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WS762 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Partner Data in the Document:
  
  Open the document (e.g., sales order, delivery) and verify if partner data is maintained.
  Use transaction codes like VA03 (Display Sales Order), VL03N (Display Delivery), VF03 (Display Billing Document).
  Go to the Partners tab and check if all required partner functions are assigned.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Partner Data:
  
  If partner data is missing, add the required partner functions manually or via master data.
  For sales documents, ensure that the sold-to party, ship-to party, payer, and bill-to party are correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Verify the partner determination procedure assigned to the document type.
  Use SPRO path:
  
  Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Partner Determination -> Set Up Partner Determination
  Ensure the procedure is assigned to the sales document type and that the partner functions are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Customer Master Data:
  
  Use transaction XD03 or VD03 to check customer master data.
  Verify that the customer has the necessary partner roles assigned.
  
  
  
  For IDoc Processing:
  
  Check the IDoc segments related to partner data (e.g., E1EDKA1 for partner header segment).
  Ensure the partner data is correctly populated in the IDoc.
  If partner data is missing, correct the IDoc generation or inbound processing logic.
  
  
  
  Debug or Analyze Partner Determination:
  
  If the partner data should be determined automatically, debug the partner determination routines.
  Check user exits or BADIs that might influence partner determination.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Document:
  
  After correcting partner data, try to reprocess the document or re-trigger the output.
