  SAP Error Message: WY058
  Message Text:
  
  Partner determination procedure & already used in partner object &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to assign a partner determination procedure to a partner object, but the same partner determination procedure is already assigned to that partner object in the system.
  In SAP, a partner determination procedure defines how partners (such as sold-to party, ship-to party, payer, etc.) are determined for business transactions. Each partner object (like sales document, billing document, delivery, etc.) can have only one unique partner determination procedure assigned.
  If you attempt to assign a partner determination procedure that is already linked to the same partner object, the system throws this error to prevent duplicate or conflicting assignments.
  
  Where It Happens
  
  In customizing (SPRO) under Partner Determination settings.
  When configuring partner determination procedures for sales documents, deliveries, billing documents, or other business objects.
  Typically in transaction codes like VOPA (Partner Determination: Assign Partner Determination Procedure to Partner Object).
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments:
  
  Go to the customizing path:
  SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Partner Determination -> Set Up Partner Determination Procedures
  
  Or directly use transaction VOPA.
  Select the relevant partner object.
  Review the list of assigned partner determination procedures.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Assignment:
  
  If the partner determination procedure you want to assign is already assigned to the partner object, you do not need to assign it again.
  If you want to change the procedure, remove the old assignment first before assigning a new one.
  
  
  
  Correct the Configuration:
  
  If you mistakenly tried to assign the same procedure twice, remove the duplicate entry.
  If you need a different procedure, create or select a unique partner determination procedure not already assigned.
  
  
  
  Transport and Testing:
  
  After correcting the assignment, transport the changes if necessary.
  Test the partner determination in the relevant business process to ensure it works as expected.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  Partner Object: Represents the business object for which partner determination is configured (e.g., sales document, delivery, billing document).
  
  
  Partner Determination Procedure: A set of rules defining which partners are involved and how they are determined.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  VOPA: Assign partner determination procedure to partner object.
  VOTXN: Define partner determination procedures.
  SPRO: Customizing menu for partner determination.
  
  
  
  Related Notes:
  
  Ensure that partner determination procedures are unique per partner object.
  Partner determination procedures are critical for correct partner assignment in sales and distribution processes.
