• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IAM/UI206 - Recipient with blocked business partner was automatically deleted ?

  The SAP error message /IAM/UI206 Recipient with blocked business partner was automatically deleted typically occurs in the context of SAP Identity Management (IdM) or SAP Access Control, where a business partner (BP) is marked as blocked or inactive. This can lead to issues when trying to manage or assign roles to users associated with that business partner.
  Cause:
  
  Blocked Business Partner: The primary cause of this error is that the business partner associated with the recipient has been marked as blocked in the system. This could be due to various reasons, such as compliance issues, user inactivity, or administrative decisions.

  Unblock the Business Partner: If the business partner needs to be active, you can unblock it in the SAP system. This typically involves:
  
  Navigating to the Business Partner transaction (e.g., BP transaction code).
  Searching for the blocked business partner.
  Changing the status from blocked to active.
  
  
  
  Review Business Partner Status: If the business partner should remain blocked, review the implications of this status. Ensure that any associated users or roles are managed accordingly.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings in SAP IdM or Access Control are set correctly to handle business partner statuses. This may involve reviewing the rules and policies that govern user management.
  
  
  Audit and Compliance: Conduct an audit to understand why the business partner was blocked. This may involve checking for compliance issues or other administrative actions that led to the blocking.
