  11.  Further more if you open the Contact tab of the Business Partner ABC, the Contact DEF is not visible.

Cause

The main Contact DEF is assigned the Relationship type Contact Person and not Partner Contact. You will not find that Partner Contact in the Partner Contact OWL. This also explains why you won't find the Contact DEF in the Contact tab of the Business Partner ABC. It also explains why the Main Contact navigation in the Partner TI header is not working as expected.

Resolution

To avoid such behaviour, it is advised to maintain only Partner Contacts to Business Partners and not regular Contacts, otherwise this leads to unexpected system behaviour.
