Initial AIF interface creation for status 102

One of the causes is that the Business Partner does not exist in the S/4HANA Cloud system, but your Request Payload is trying to perform an update for the Business Partner in the S/4HANA Cloud system. In such a scenario, the field ReceiverInternalID in the Request Payload is filled.

For example:
Business Partner XXXXXX does not exist in the S/4HANA Cloud system, but the Request Payload is trying to perform the update for the Business Partner. The field ReceiverInternalID in the Request Payload is filled.

<InternalID>XXXXXX</InternalID>
<ReceiverInternalID>XXXXXX</ReceiverInternalID>

where XXXXXX represents the Business Partner ID

When performing an update for a Business Partner in the S/4HANA Cloud system, ensure that the Business Partner exists in the system. You may verify using the Maintain Business Partner or Business Partner Fiori apps like Manage Business Partner Master Data, Manage Customer Master Data and Manage Supplier Master Data.

If the Business Partner does not exist in the S/4HANA Cloud system, then this is a new Business Partner for which during replication of the Business Partner from the external system to the S/4HANA Cloud system, the incoming Request Payload should not have the ReceiverInternalID filled, instead should be blank. Therefore, clear the field ReceiverInternalID in the Request Payload and trigger the replication from the external system to the S/4HANA Cloud system.
