  SAP Error Message: WS_EA008
  Text: It is not possible to change the partner for processing type &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to change the partner (business partner, vendor, customer, etc.) in a workflow or processing step where the partner is fixed or not allowed to be changed for the given processing type.
  In SAP Workflow or Business Partner processing, certain processing types have restrictions on changing the partner once assigned. The system enforces these rules to maintain data consistency and process integrity.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  Trying to change the partner in a workflow step where the partner is determined by the processing type and cannot be altered.
  Attempting to modify the partner in a standard SAP process where the partner role is fixed.
  Custom code or user action trying to overwrite the partner in a processing type that does not support partner changes.
