Hi friends,
We are working with SRM5.0, SP08.
I have cretated a vendor business partner through supplier registration route and also have maintained an employee for the same.
Later, when I try to make any changes in personal data of this employee (through manage business partner) in change mode, system gives me error "Business partner XXX is invalid".
I would appreciate, if anybody can guide me to resolve this problem.
Best Regards,
Prashant

Hi,
I belive the process is as follows.
In this process there are two different partners no are generated.
Example - 4000000342 for BP (Vendor) and 4000000344 for Employee .
When we tested the same process, we entered 4000000344 in the Employee field and start editing, we could do the same.
So please let us know whether the same process applies to you and ur also using the correct BP for editing.

Hi Prashant,
The mistake in the entire process is as follows.
You have created employee BP 343 but while creating the same you have not made the checkbox "Employee is the Contact Person" active and saved it.
This results into non - linkage of your BP 342 with Employee BP 343.
Now as per the screen shot what you are trying to achive is that you are opening 343 in edit mode with BP 342 and trying to make checkbox "Employee is the Contact Person" active , for which the system gives an error. ( We have simulated the case over here).
This could be reported to OSS as BUG, because system is not allowing you to change BP 343 in conjunction with 342.
If you do not follow the steps mentioned earlier than probably system does not create this BP 343 with BP role BUP001, and hence the error.
To prove this point, you can create another Employee BP, but while doing so, make the check box active in the first instance.

Hi!
I'm having the same problem. All of sudden a vendors contact person is invalid.
Error message: Business partner xxxx is invalid.
xxxx refers to the contact person number.
Also "Employee is a contact person" is not checked and
you can't check it. You'll get the error above.
Any solutions for this??
I didn't find any relevant SAP notes
Hi,
In Manage Business Partner are you using "Business Partner" Data"and "Employee" together in edit mode?
Plz send the screen shot of the same (vijaymittal23@rediffmail.com).
