• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1N207 - Business partner &1 does not exist in the role of account holder ?

  The SAP error message 1N207 indicates that a business partner (BP) does not exist in the specified role of "account holder." This error typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a business partner to have a specific role assigned to it, but the system cannot find that role for the given business partner.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Role Assignment: The business partner you are trying to use does not have the role of "account holder" assigned to it.
  Incorrect Business Partner: The business partner ID you are using may be incorrect or does not exist in the system.
  Data Synchronization Issues: There may be issues with data synchronization if the business partner was recently created or modified.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for business partner roles may not be set up correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Business Partner Existence:
  
  Use transaction code BP to check if the business partner exists in the system.
  Ensure that you are using the correct business partner ID.
  
  
  
  Verify Role Assignment:
  
  In the business partner maintenance screen, check the roles assigned to the business partner.
  If the "account holder" role is missing, you will need to add it. You can do this by:
  
  Selecting the business partner.
  Going to the "Roles" tab.
  Adding the "account holder" role if it is not already assigned.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Business Partner:
  
  If the business partner does not exist, you may need to create a new business partner with the required roles.
  If the business partner exists but lacks the necessary role, modify the existing business partner to include the "account holder" role.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the role "account holder" is properly configured in the system. This may involve checking the customizing settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Data Synchronization:
  
  If the business partner was recently created or modified, ensure that all relevant data has been synchronized and is available in the system.
