3748210 - Unable to Migrate Purchasing Organization with “Returns Supplier” Indicator Enabled

For the migration object 'Supplier - Extend Existing Record by New Organizational Levels,' it is not possible to migrate the purchasing organization when the 'Indicator: Returns Supplier' field is marked with an 'X.' In such cases, the system returns the following error message:

"Purchasing org : No customer exists – cannot mark as returns supplier."

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The error occurs because the 'Indicator: Returns Supplier' field requires an existing customer master record. If no customer exists or cannot be maintained in the General Data during migration, the system triggers the error. 

• If the return supplier indicator is being used, then the customer master record must exists in the system.
• If the General Data of the supplier already exists, it is not possible to provide the customer master record within the General Data sheet.
• If the business partner was created as a customer or contract partner and business user wants to extend such a record as a supplier, it is possible to provide the customer number at General Data sheet.
