WS765 - Details

• Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS765 Partner &1 does not exist for partner role &2
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system tries to find a partner with a specific partner number (&1) assigned to a particular partner role (&2) in a business document (such as a sales order, delivery, billing document, etc.), but it cannot find such a partner entry.
  In other words, the partner number exists in the system, but it is not assigned to the required partner role in the document or master data.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  When creating or processing sales documents (sales orders, deliveries, billing documents), the system expects certain partner roles (e.g., Sold-to party, Ship-to party, Payer, Bill-to party) to be assigned.
  If the partner number is missing for the required partner role, this error is triggered.
  It can also happen during partner determination procedures if the partner role is not maintained
