1. Go to Partners work center
2. Click on Partner Contacts view
3. Select a partner contact
4. Click on More

It is the correct system behavior that the option Create From Business Partner in Partner Contacts view of the Partner work center doesn't exist.

• If you use an existing business partner to create an account, competitor, partner, contact, it involves only adding another role to the business partner.
• If you use an existing business partner to create an internal or external employee, it is not trivial. A new Employee ID needs to be provided via external numbering. A new identity may need to be created as well. These processes are complex and error - prone. 

You can use an existing business partner to create an account, individual customer, competitor, partner, contact, etc. But you can't use an existing business partner to create an employee.
