• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY087 - Supplier has account group &: No partner maintenance defined ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WY087 - Supplier has account group & : No partner maintenance defined
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to maintain or create a supplier master record (vendor) in SAP, and the system finds that the vendor account group assigned to the supplier does not have partner functions defined for partner maintenance. In other words, the vendor account group is missing partner determination settings, which are necessary for maintaining partner data (such as contact persons, sales representatives, etc.) linked to the vendor.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, partner functions define roles of business partners related to a vendor or customer (e.g., ordering address, invoicing party).
  Each vendor account group must have partner functions assigned in the partner determination procedure.
  If no partner functions are assigned to the vendor account group, the system cannot maintain partner data for that vendor, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Vendor Account Group:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? SAP Reference IMG ? Logistics General ? Business Partner ? Partner Determination ? Set Up Partner Determination Procedures.
  Alternatively, use transaction OBD3 to display/change vendor account groups.
  
  
  
  Assign Partner Functions to the Vendor Account Group:
  
  In the partner determination procedure for vendors, assign the required partner functions to the vendor account group.
  Partner functions might include roles like VN (Vendor), WE (Goods Recipient), RE (Invoice Recipient), etc.
  Ensure that the partner functions are properly maintained and active.
  
  
  
  Maintain Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Use transaction VOPA or navigate via SPRO to maintain partner determination procedures.
  Assign the partner determination procedure to the vendor account group.
  
  
  
  Test the Vendor Master Creation:
  
  After assigning partner functions, try to create or maintain the vendor master again.
  The error should no longer appear.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common when custom vendor account groups are created but partner functions are not assigned.
  Partner functions are essential for processes like purchase order processing, invoice verification, and communication.
  If you do not require partner functions for a particular vendor account group, you might consider adjusting the partner determination procedure accordingly, but generally, at least one partner function should be assigned.
