enter exactly one partner of type vendor

[Former Member]

Hi

We are getting this error while assigning a vendor in the SOCO for a SC.

"enter exactly one partner of type vendor"

Anybody knows why this is happening, even though vendors are replicated correctly in SRM4.0

Hi Reddy,

This error message could be generated because:

- the new vendor is assigned in addition to an existing one, and there should be only one vendor assigned...

- the new vendor is not valid for the SC item and is rejected so there is no vendor assigned. It may be because of purch org, vendor blocking flags...

I think this is because of the 2nd reason (in the first one, the vendor should replace the old one).

Check the vendor data against SC item data.

Hi Christophe

Thanks for your answers.

But we are entering the correct vendor in the SOCO.

The vendor entered is from the AVL.

Any other suggestions...

Hi Reddy,

Can u also check BBP_PD to see if there were any additional errors, warnings for this.

Can u create a manual PO for this vendor? if not check this vendor for the POrg.

Hi Reddy,

Have you got the solution for this issue? I am also encountering a similar problem when trying to delete a vendor from a contract and assign preferred vendor.

The messages are

"Enter exactly one partner of type preferred vendor"

"Partner data couldnot be determined".

In BBP_PD, I find two entries in partner table with partner_fct = 39.

I am also not able to delete one of this entry.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi

Still dont know why this error is coming up.

But if come out of the transaction and enter once again I am able to order the PO...quite strange, why this happen and happens rarely...

Check your AVL list...

Hi,

For me the error was coming because I was using DOC_CHANGE_BADI to change vendor to preferred vendor based on some condition.

It is so that whenever we delete a vendor and assign a new vendor, the previous vendor data exists in partner table for the coresponding document.(but with DEL_IND = X).

I modified the record with DEL_IND<> X, and it was achieved. This happened to me when tried to delete contract vendor.

Thanks all,

Nandalal

Hi reddy

Have you assigned the vendors to Root other than the Company Root.

IN PPOMA assign all the vendor to an External Business Partners.

Check the Attributes and the vendor role is assigned in the Org struture attributes.
