  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS_RRLE053 – Make an entry for the partner role Settlement Document List Recipient
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system expects a partner to be assigned for the partner role Settlement Document List Recipient in a business transaction (such as in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) or Settlement Management), but no partner has been maintained or assigned for this role.
  In other words, the system is trying to generate or process a settlement document list and requires a partner (usually a business partner or customer/vendor) to be specified as the recipient of this list. If this partner role is missing or not maintained in the relevant master data or configuration, the error is triggered.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During settlement processing in FI-CA or Settlement Management.
  When generating settlement document lists or related correspondence.
  When the system tries to send or print settlement documents but cannot find the recipient partner role.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain the Partner Role in Master Data:
  
  Go to the relevant master data (e.g., Business Partner (BP) transaction, Customer/Vendor master, or Contract Account master).
  Assign or maintain the partner for the role Settlement Document List Recipient.
  This is typically done in the partner functions tab or partner roles section.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration for Partner Roles:
  
  Verify in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under the relevant module (e.g., FI-CA or Settlement Management) that the partner role Settlement Document List Recipient is correctly defined and assigned.
  Transaction codes like SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable ? Business Transactions ? Partner Determination.
  
  
  
  Assign Partner in the Document or Transaction:
  
  If the partner role is missing in the specific document or transaction, manually assign the partner role before processing.
  
  
  
  Check Output Determination:
  
  Sometimes, output determination requires a partner for this role to send settlement documents.
  Ensure output determination procedures are correctly configured and the partner role is assigned.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Partner Role: Settlement Document List Recipient (often a custom or specific partner function in FI-CA or Settlement Management).
  Transaction Codes:  
  
  BP (Business Partner)  
  FPAYH (Payment Document Header in FI-CA)  
  SPRO (for configuration)  
  
  
  Modules: FI-CA (Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable), Settlement Management.
  Notes: Check SAP Notes related to partner determination and settlement document processing if the problem persists.
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WS_RRLE053 indicates that the system requires a partner to be assigned for the role Settlement Document List Recipient but none is found. To fix this, maintain the partner role in the relevant master data or configuration so that the system knows who should receive the settlement document list.
