SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create lease contract and define contract term, business partner assignment and relevant conditions.
- When assigning a business partner, warning REBPBP035 - 'Role &1 of partner &4 is only valid in period &2' is shown.
- Attempt activation of contract.
- 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.
