Symptom
After creating a Business Partner, the BP category type cannot be modified.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a BP and select the category (Person, Organization, Group)
- The Business Partner Category needs to be changed
Cause
This is the standard behavior. Once the BP has been created, it is not possible to change the BP category (field BUT000-TYPE).
Resolution
The only way is to create a different BP or delete/archive the current one then create a new one with the correct category.
