    Error Message

    WTY812 - Error in Partner Role &1


    Cause

    This error typically occurs in SAP when there is an issue with the partner role configuration in the context of partner determination, often during document processing such as sales orders, deliveries, billing, or partner determination procedures.

    Specifically, the error indicates that the system encountered an invalid or missing partner role in the partner determination procedure. This can happen due to:

    • The partner role specified in the document or master data does not exist or is not maintained.
    • The partner role is not assigned or configured correctly in the partner determination procedure.
    • The partner role is missing in the partner function assignment for the business transaction.
    • Customizing inconsistencies in partner roles or partner functions.
    • Incorrect or incomplete partner data in the master data or transactional data.

    Where It Occurs

    • Sales and Distribution (SD) module, during sales order processing, delivery creation, billing.
    • Partner determination procedures in various business transactions.
    • Master data maintenance for business partners or customers.
    • Partner role assignment in business partner (BP) transactions.

    Solution / How to Fix

    1. Check Partner Role Configuration:

      • Go to SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Partner Determination ? Define Partner Roles.
      • Verify that the partner role mentioned in the error (&1) exists and is correctly configured.
    2. Check Partner Determination Procedure:

      • Verify the partner determination procedure assigned to the transaction (e.g., sales document type, delivery type).
      • Ensure that the partner role is included in the partner determination procedure.
      • Transaction codes like VOPA (Partner Determination Procedures) or OVX5 (Partner Functions) can be used.
    3. Check Partner Functions in Master Data:

      • Check the customer master or business partner master data to ensure the partner functions and roles are correctly maintained.
      • Use transaction VD03 (Display Customer) or BP (Business Partner) to verify.
    4. Check Partner Assignment in Document:

      • In the sales order or delivery, check if the partner role is correctly assigned.
      • If missing, add the required partner role manually or adjust the partner determination procedure to automatically assign it.
    5. Review Customizing for Partner Roles:

      • Sometimes, custom partner roles are created but not fully integrated into the partner determination procedures.
      • Ensure all custom roles are properly maintained in all relevant customizing tables.
    6. Debugging / Logs:

      • If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the partner determination logic or checking application logs may help identify the root cause.

    Related Information
