  SAP Error Message:
  WY025 - Partner function & not allowed for suppliers in account group &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign a partner function to a vendor master record, but the partner function is not permitted for the vendor's account group.
  
  Partner functions define roles in business partner relationships (e.g., ordering address, invoicing party).
  Account groups classify vendors and control which partner functions are allowed.
  The system checks the allowed partner functions for the vendor's account group during master data maintenance.
  If the partner function you are trying to assign is not configured as allowed for that account group, the system throws this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the partner function is allowed for the vendor's account group.
  Steps:
  
  
  Check the vendor's account group:
  
  Go to vendor master data (transaction XK03 or FK03).
  Note the account group of the vendor.
  
  
  
  Check allowed partner functions for the account group:
  
  Use transaction SPRO ?
  
  SAP Reference IMG ?
  
  Logistics - General ?
  
  Business Partner ?
  
  Customers ?
  
  Partner Functions ?
  
  Define Partner Functions for Vendor Account Groups
  Or directly via transaction OBD3 (depending on SAP version).
  Find the vendor account group and check which partner functions are assigned.
  
  
  
  Add the missing partner function if required:
  
  If the partner function you want to assign is not listed, add it to the allowed partner functions for that account group.
  Save and transport the changes if in a development system.
  
  
  
  Retry the vendor master data maintenance:
  
  Now, the system should allow you to assign the partner function without error.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Partner Functions: Examples include 'Ordering Address' (WE), 'Invoicing Party' (RI), 'Goods Supplier' (LF), etc.
  
  
  Account Groups: Control the number range and field selection for vendors and also restrict partner functions.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  XK01/XK02/XK03 - Vendor master create/change/display
  OBD3 - Define partner functions for vendor account groups (may vary by SAP version)
  SPRO - IMG configuration path
  
  
  
  Note: Changes to partner functions and account groups should be done carefully, as they affect master data consistency and business processes.
