3808947 - Error: Business partner with GUID #GUID does not exist. Please select Grouping

Symptom

Following error is encountered while creating a worker in Manage Workforce app: "Business partner with GUID #GUID does not exist. Please select Grouping."

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open Manage Workforce app.
  2. Click on Create button.
  3. Fill the details and click on Create.

Cause

  • Missing Business Partner grouping configuration.
  • No number range intervals are defined for the Business Partner object (BU_PARTNER).

Resolution

Before the system internally assigns a Business Partner number for the worker internally, it is necessary to define the number ranges and groupings associated with it.

Follow below steps for defining number ranges and to define groupings in Manage Your Solution' app:

  1. Open "Manage Your Solution" app.
  2. Navigate to "Configure Your Solution" app.
  3. Search for the ID "500092".
  4. Choose configuration activity "102296 - Define Number Ranges".
  5. Verify that a valid number range interval exists. If not, create one.
  6. In the same app, open activity 102241 - "Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges".
  7. Ensure that at least one internal BP grouping exists, is assigned to the number range from the activity 102296 and is marked as the Internal Standard Grouping (Int. Std. Grping checkbox).

Incase while using SAP Central Business Configuration (CBC) :

  1. Log on to the project experience in SAP Central Business Configuration.
  2. Select the relevant project.
  3. Navigate to the configurations activity tab. 
  4. Search for the configuration activity '102296 - Define Number Ranges'.
  5. Verify that a valid number range interval exists. If not, create one.
  6. In the same app, open activity 102241 - "Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges".
  7. Ensure that at least one internal BP grouping exists, is assigned to the number range from the activity 102296 and is marked as the Internal Standard Grouping (Int. Std. Grping checkbox).
