3248014 - Error messages appear while creating Business Partners

Symptom

Error messages occur when creating Business Partners in the Manage Business Partner Master Data app:

  • BP doesn't have a current standard address, needed for customer.
  • BP doesn't have a current standard address, needed for customer/supplier.
  • Country/Region key (LFA1-LAND1) is a required entry field.
  • Language Key (KNA1-SPRAS) is a required entry field.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go the Manage Business partner Master Data app.
  2. Open the Business partner.
  3. No Language/Country field is maintained in the Standard Communication tab.
  4. Create an address, the start date is a future time and end date is 31.12.9999. E.g:(1.1.9999-31.12.9999).

Cause

  • The error is raised because the standard address validity does not fall under today's date. That is, the error appears when the validity of the standard address is maintained with a Valid From date in the future.
  • When required entries are missing above error message is displayed.

Resolution

  • Add an address line to extend the validity of the address so that it has a valid address including today.
  • Maintain correct Language and Country/Region in Standard Communication tab.
