Symptom
There is a requirement to replicate the Business Partners from an external system to S/4HANA Cloud system, upon triggering the replication, the below error message is raised in the S/4HANA Cloud system: "BP role *YYYYYY does not exist for partner *XXXXXX".
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
Trigger the Replication from the external system to S/4HANA Cloud system.
- Login to the S/4HANA Cloud system.
- Go to the app Message Dashboard.
- Calendar Monitor.
- From (Date/Time): MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS.
- To (Date/Time): MM1/DD1/YYYY1 HH:MM:SS.
- Click Search.
- Select the Namespace / Interface : Business Partner Replication from Client - BP_IN/00001.
- Click on Errors.
- On the Monitoring and Error Handling screen, click each of the messages to understand the details of the Logs.
Error occurred for partner *00000XXXXXX; passed on to Forward Error Handling
Business partner *XXXXXX does not exist
BP role *YYYYYY does not exist for partner XXXXXX
- Go to the app Manage Key Mapping.
- Object Selection.
- Business Object Type: Business Partner.
- Business System: *XYZ.
- 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
Cause
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>
Resolution
- 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.
