Error - Business partner 30000011 does not exist in role TR0151

Question

Hello,
I am receiving an error "Business partner 30000011 does not exist in role TR0151" while creating a Fixed Deposit Transaction through FTR_CREATE.
Whilst testing Fixed Deposit accounting in SAP Treasury, i was testing a scenario of a MINOR and his/her GUARDIAN. Both have been created as Business Partners. However, i have NOT created the Minor further as a Customer.
I now have a MINOR defined as a Business Partner, a GUARDIAN defined as a BUSINESS PARTNER and CUSTOMER both and a relationship established between the two through the RELATIONSHIPS tab.
After doing the above, i am trying to create a Fixed Deposit through FTR_CREATE where i am receiving the above mentioned error.
In Customizing, i have checked that the TR0151 is assigned to COUNTERPARTY role and TR0154 to the BENEFICIARY role
The GUARDIAN was created with BP role - Business Partner General and then changed to COUNTER PARTY. The MINOR has been created with BP Role - Business Partner General and then changed to BENEFICIARY.
My expectation was that since MINOR is not defined as Customer, the system would not allow me to create a FD for the Minor and display such a message which would ask me to create the FD using the GUARDIAN as the Business Partner.
Request your help on this.
Regards,
Murtuza.

Hi,
It is not necessary that a business partner has to be linked to a customer account.  In certain cases, your house bank itself acts as a counterparty, in that case you can directly settle to your bank account instead of managing through a customer.
For your case, you need to maintain the role of counterparty for MINOR as well.  Only if the business partner exists in that role can you create a transaction.
