• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY189 - No valid partner & for partner role & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WTY189 No valid partner & for partner role &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system cannot find a valid partner for a specified partner role in a business transaction. Typically, this happens during processes like sales order creation, delivery processing, billing, or partner determination procedures where the system expects a partner (e.g., sold-to party, ship-to party, payer) to be assigned but none is found or the assigned partner does not meet the criteria for the partner role.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The partner determination procedure is not correctly maintained or assigned.  
  The partner role is missing or incorrectly configured in the master data or transaction.  
  The partner function required for the transaction is not assigned to any partner.  
  The partner assigned does not fulfill the required conditions (e.g., partner is blocked, incomplete master data).  
  Customizing for partner determination is incomplete or inconsistent.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Partner Determination Procedure:  
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Partner Determination) and verify that the partner determination procedure is correctly assigned to the transaction type or document type.  
  Ensure that the partner role in question is included in the partner determination procedure.
  
  
  
  Verify Partner Assignment in Master Data:  
  
  Check the customer/vendor master data to ensure that the partner role is assigned correctly.  
  For example, in customer master (XD03/VD03), verify that the partner functions (sold-to, ship-to, payer, etc.) are maintained properly.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Functions in the Document:  
  
  In the transaction (e.g., sales order VA01/VA02), verify that the required partner functions are filled.  
  If missing, manually add the partner or correct the partner function.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Role Configuration:  
  
  Ensure that the partner role is active and valid in the system.  
  Check if any partner role restrictions or validations are causing the partner to be invalid.
  
  
  
  Check for Blocked or Incomplete Partners:  
  
  Verify that the partner is not blocked or flagged as invalid in master data.  
  Ensure all mandatory fields for the partner role are filled.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs:  
  
  If the issue persists, use debugging or check application logs to identify where the partner determination fails.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
