Symptom
When Business Partner (I_BUSINESSPARTNERTP_3) data is transferred from an external system into SAP S/4HANA Cloud, the BP cannot be extended with Customer or Supplier roles during creation. The system displays the error: 'Unable to process this entity without a corresponding Business Partner.'
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
The creation methods for the nodes to Customer and Supplier along with their subordinate nodes are not supported.
Resolution
- The Business Partner object I_BUSINESSPARTNERTP_3 currently supports only Business Partner datasets (such as General Data, Address, Bank, Industry, etc.) and does not support creating or extending Customer or Supplier roles.
- To create or extend the Business Partner with Customer or Supplier roles, use the API_BUSINESS_PARTNER.
