3830888 - Lease contract activation blocked by warning REBPBP035 - 'Role &1 of partner &4 is only valid in period &2' - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

When attempting to activate a lease contract error RECN027 - 'Error: Activation is not possible due to warnings (Partner Assignment)' is shown, preventing contract activation.

The referenced Warning shown for the Partner Assignment is: REBPBP035 - 'Role &1 of partner &4 is only valid in period &2' - suggesting that the assigned business partner is not covering the entire contract term.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create lease contract and define contract term, business partner assignment and relevant conditions.
  2. When assigning a business partner, warning REBPBP035 - 'Role &1 of partner &4 is only valid in period &2' is shown.
  3. Attempt activation of contract.
  4. Contract activation is prevented by error RECN027 - 'Error: Activation is not possible due to warnings (Partner Assignment)'.

Cause

  • The assigned business partner’s role is not valid for the contract’s entire validity period. The warning serves as a reminder to maintain a valid business partner assignment for the entire contract validity to ensure data consistency and appropriate cash-flow calculation.

Resolution

Ensure that a valid business partner assignment is present for the entire contract validity by either:

  • Extending the business partner role of the given business partner to cover the contract validity period.
  • Assigning multiple business partner with a valid role for the period which is not covered by the initial business partner.
