  Error Message
  WS764: No partner role was transferred for document &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a document (such as a sales order, delivery, billing document, etc.) is being processed or transferred, but the system does not find any partner role assigned or transferred for that document. Partner roles are essential in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) and related modules because they define the business partners involved in the document, such as sold-to party, ship-to party, bill-to party, payer, etc.
  Common causes include:
  
  The partner determination procedure is not properly configured or assigned to the document type.
  The partner roles are missing or not maintained in the master data or document.
  The partner data was not correctly transferred from the preceding document (e.g., from sales order to delivery).
  Customizing or user-exits/BADIs that modify partner data are incorrectly implemented or missing.
  Data inconsistencies or incomplete data entry.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Partner Determination ? Set Up Partner Determination.
  Verify that the partner determination procedure is assigned to the relevant sales document type.
  Ensure that the required partner roles are defined and mandatory partner functions are maintained.
  
  
  
  Verify Partner Roles in the Document:
  
  Open the document (e.g., sales order, delivery) and check if partner roles are assigned.
  Use transaction VA03 (Display Sales Order), VL03N (Display Delivery), or VF03 (Display Billing Document) and check the Partners tab.
  If partners are missing, maintain them manually or check the partner determination procedure.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the customer master data (XD01/XD02/XD03) has the necessary partner functions maintained.
  Ensure that the sold-to party, ship-to party, payer, and bill-to party are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Document Flow and Partner Transfer:
  
  If the document is created from a preceding document (e.g., delivery from sales order), check if the partner data is correctly transferred.
  Debug or analyze the partner transfer logic if custom enhancements are involved.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If user-exits, BADIs, or enhancements are implemented for partner determination or partner transfer, review the code for errors or missing logic.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Maintain Partner Roles:
  
  If partners are missing, maintain them manually or recreate the document if possible.
