Business partner *XXXXXX does not exist
BP role *YYYYYY does not exist for partner XXXXXX

1. Go to the app Manage Key Mapping.
2. Object Selection.
3. Business Object Type: Business Partner.
4. Business System: *XYZ.
5. Object ID Type/Object ID: Business Partner Number / XXXXXX.

The BP is not yet created but the key mapping is generated.

Where *XXXXXX represents the Business Partner ID ; *YYYYYY represents the Business Partner Role
*00000XXXXXX represents the Internal ID of the Business Partner
*XYZ represents the Business System

The Internal IDs in the request payload contain the leading zeros.

For example: 00000XXXXXX is sent instead of XXXXXX for Business Partner, Customer and Supplier.
<InternalID>00000XXXXXX</InternalID>

• As per the SAP Help Portal, the Internal ID should be provided without leading zeros.
  <InternalID>XXXXXX</InternalID>
• Ensure that the Internal ID(s) in the request payload do not contain the leading zeros.
• Furthermore, delete the already created key mapping from the app Manage Key Mappings and thereafter trigger the replication from the external system to S/4HANA Cloud system.
