Error while creating contact through API in Install Base

Question

Hello
I am trying to create contacts when creating a install base through API...
I tried below code as per metalink note# 215456.1 and giving the below error. I checked setup andI have 'Ship To' exists in Instnace Party Account Relationsship setup in the aplication and also I have a party Id 1232890 exist in hz_parties table with party type as 'Person' and I passed contact_ip_id as instance_party_id from CSI_I_PARTIES table for the instance to be update...
Also, can anybody help me how to purge the error messages before calling the API, suppose if i have 2 records and all two records will error then my second record error getting contatenated with my first error and message count also getting increased(see error message below as message count coming as 2 even though there is only one error)

Hi
We are in 11.5.10.2 and I already checked notes which you sent before and setups are fine as the relationship type' Ship to' having 'contacts' enabled in the setup.
I am also seeing a differernt issue as once I update existing item instnace with the status 'Return for Credit' through API, system is not allowing me to update the extended attributes through front end application manually and I am seeing a note at the end of the screen as 'Note: This item instance cannot be updated. ' and this is only happening when I update the item instance status to 'Returned for Credit' not when I create new item instances with status as 'Created'. Is this intended functionality to restrict update on extended attributes if I change the status of item instnace to 'Return for Credit' ?
Thanks
