  Error Message:
  WTADDI413: You must enter a bill-to party for the additional
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you are trying to create or process a transaction (often related to sales, billing, or delivery documents) that involves an additional party (such as a partner function like "Bill-to party"), but the system does not find a valid Bill-to party entered for that additional partner.
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), partner functions define the roles of business partners in a sales document. The Bill-to party is a critical partner function responsible for receiving the invoice. If this partner is missing or not maintained properly in the document or master data, the system throws this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing Bill-to party in the sales document or delivery.
  Incorrect or incomplete partner determination procedure.
  Partner function not maintained in the customer master or sales document.
  Customizing partner determination procedure requires a Bill-to party but it is not provided.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you need to ensure that a valid Bill-to party is entered or maintained correctly. Here are the steps:
  
  
  Check the Sales Document or Delivery:
  
  Go to the sales order or delivery document.
  Verify that the Bill-to party partner function is assigned and has a valid customer number.
  If missing, manually enter the Bill-to party or use partner determination to populate it.
  
  
  
  Verify Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Check the partner determination procedure assigned to the sales document type or delivery type.
  Ensure that the Bill-to party is a required partner function and is correctly configured.
  Transaction codes: VOPA (Partner determination procedures), VOTXN (Assign partner procedures to sales document types).
  
  
  
  Check Customer Master Data:
  
  Verify that the customer master record for the Bill-to party is complete and active.
  Ensure that the customer number used is valid and has the correct partner roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Maintain Partner Functions in Sales Document:
  
  In the sales order, go to the Partners tab and add or correct the Bill-to party.
  Save the document after correction.
  
  
  
  Customizing Check:
  
  If this error occurs during a custom process or enhancement, check the code or user-exits to ensure the Bill-to party is passed correctly.
