• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY144 - Partner number changer &1 is not equal to partner number claimant &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WTY144 Partner number changer &1 is not equal to partner number claimant &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Partner Determination when there is a mismatch between the partner number of the "changer" and the "claimant" in a workflow or partner assignment scenario.
  
  Partner number changer (&1): The partner number who is attempting to change or update the workflow or document.
  Partner number claimant (&2): The partner number who is supposed to claim or own the workflow or document.
  
  The system expects these two partner numbers to be the same in certain workflow steps or partner determination procedures. If they differ, the system throws this error to prevent unauthorized or inconsistent changes.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When a workflow task is being claimed or changed by a user/partner who is not the original claimant.
  During partner determination in sales, purchasing, or other business processes where partner roles must match.
  When customizing or user-exits incorrectly assign or change partner numbers.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Partner Assignments:
  
  Verify the partner numbers involved in the workflow or business process.
  Ensure that the partner number of the user trying to change the workflow (changer) matches the partner number assigned as the claimant.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow Configuration:
  
  Check the workflow step where the error occurs.
  Confirm that the partner determination rules are correctly set up.
  Make sure that the partner roles and their numbers are consistent.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Confirm that the user has the correct authorization and is assigned the correct partner number.
  If the user is not supposed to change the workflow, restrict access accordingly.
  
  
  
  Debug / Analyze:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 (Work Item Selection) or SWI2_FREQ to find the workflow instance.
  Debug the workflow to see where the partner numbers are assigned and compared.
  Check any custom code or user-exits that might alter partner numbers.
  
  
  
  Correct Partner Number in Master Data:
  
  Sometimes, the partner number in master data (e.g., customer, vendor, employee) might be incorrect or inconsistent.
  Correct the master data if necessary.
