Cause
The two questions, "Do you want to enable buying center based on business partner relationships?" and "Do you want to enable buying center based on buying center relationships?", are mutually exclusive. Only one can be active at any time.
The error message appears as there is already data maintained for whichever of the two questions has to date been in use. It is not possible to fully remove this data from the frontend system.
Resolution
In the case of a test system, the resolution is to request a new tenant or tenant refresh and configure the required question prior to master data replication.
