• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI501 - EDI partner agreement &/& does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  WTADDI501 EDI partner agreement &/& does not exist
  typically occurs in the context of SAP's ALE/EDI (Application Link Enabling / Electronic Data Interchange) processing, specifically when dealing with partner profiles and agreements for message exchange.
  
  Cause
  This error means that the system is trying to find an EDI partner agreement for a particular combination of sender and receiver partners and message type, but no such agreement exists in the system.
  
  The placeholders &/& represent the sender and receiver partner IDs (or sometimes message type) that the system is trying to find an agreement for.
  The partner agreement defines the parameters and rules for communication between two partners (e.g., message types allowed, message processing rules).
  If the agreement is missing or incorrectly maintained, the system cannot process the inbound or outbound IDoc or EDI message, resulting in this error.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During inbound or outbound IDoc processing.
  When the system tries to determine the partner agreement for an EDI message.
  When processing inbound EDI messages via transaction WE20 or related ALE/EDI transactions.
  When the partner profiles or agreements are incomplete or missing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Partner Profiles (Transaction WE20):
  
  Go to transaction WE20.
  Verify that the partner profiles for the sender and receiver partners exist.
  Check if the partner agreement for the relevant message type and direction (inbound/outbound) is maintained.
  If missing, create or maintain the partner agreement accordingly.
  
  
  
  Maintain Partner Agreement:
  
  In WE20, select the partner profile.
  Under the relevant partner type (e.g., LS - Logical System, KU - Customer, LI - Vendor), check the message types.
  Add or correct the message type and processing parameters.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Logical Systems (Transaction BD54):
  
  Ensure that the logical systems for sender and receiver are correctly defined and assigned.
  
  
  
  Verify Message Type and Process Code:
  
  Make sure the message type used in the IDoc or EDI message matches the one maintained in the partner agreement.
  Check the process code assigned to the message type.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the IDoc or EDI message:
  
  After maintaining the partner agreement, reprocess the IDoc or inbound message.
