Partner function issues while creating SA using LSMW

Question

Hi,
I am opening a new thread (though similar question has been put by Vihaan in below thread)
Tax code in SA - LSMW
We are creating SAs via LSMW IDOC method (Message Type - PURSAG_CREATE and Basic Type - PURSAG_CREATE01), all our SAs being created w r to Contract and Contract has multiple OA and PI partner functions. So while creating SA we are passing unique OA and PI value (from list of valid OA/PI avaialble in contract) in LSMW structures - E1BPMEOUTPARTNER and E1BPMEOUTPARTNERX.
Values passed are mentioned below:
E1BPMEOUTPARTNER               Partner Information for Outline Agreement
    Fields
        PARTN_ROLE                   Partner Function
                            Rule :   Constant
                            Code:    E1BPMEOUTPARTNER-PARTN_ROLE = 'BA'.
        PLANT                        Plant
        SUBRANGE_TX                  Description of Vendor Subrange
        LANGU                        Language Key
        LANGU_ISO                    Language according to ISO 639
        PARTNR                       Reference to other vendor
                            Rule :   Constant
                            Code:    E1BPMEOUTPARTNER-PARTNR = '1XXXXXXXX9'.
        DEF_PARTNR                   Default Partner
                            Rule :   Constant
                            Code:    E1BPMEOUTPARTNER-DEF_PARTNR = 'X'.
        DELETE_IND                   Deletion Indicator in Purchasing Document
E1BPMEOUTPARTNERX              Change Parameter Partner Data (Outline Agreement)
    Fields
        PARTN_ROLE                   Partner Function
                            Rule :   Constant
                            Code:    E1BPMEOUTPARTNERX-PARTN_ROLE = 'BA'.
        PLANT                        Plant
        SUBRANGE_TX                  Description of Vendor Subrange
        LANGU                        Updated information in related user data field
        LANGU_ISO                    Updated information in related user data field
        PARTNR                       Updated information in related user data field
                            Rule :   Constant
                            Code:    E1BPMEOUTPARTNERX-PARTNR = 'X'.
        DEF_PARTNR                   Updated information in related user data field
                            Rule :   Constant
                            Code:    E1BPMEOUTPARTNERX-DEF_PARTNR = 'X'.
        DELETE_IND                   Updated information in related user data field
Now issue is SAP is not recognizing above mentioned partner value and throwing error as Following mandatory roles missing in partner maintenance: OA
If the reffered contract has single OA and PI LSMW is running fine and creating SA successfully but issue is coming only when we have multiple OA/PI.
Has anybody faced similar issue or aware if any OSS note which resolves this issue, please advise.
Thanks,
Yogesh

Hi Jurgen,
I have created a separate source structure for passing partner function and now have below source structure:
Source Structures
       HEADER_SA            Header Structure
           PARTNER_SA          PARTNER STRUCTURE (Lower level to Header)
           ITEM_SA              Item Structure (Lower level to Header but at the same level as Partner)
Then created a separate file for partner having both OA and PI value as shown below (ID is common field between all three structures Header, item and Partner):
ID     PARVW     LIFN2     DEFPA
1     BA     1XXXXXXX9     X
1     RS     1XXXXXXX7     X
Now after convert data step it considers above values for partner role but still LSMW fails with same error "Mandatory PF missing, OA, PI"
Also, one more info wanted to share- if in my contract I put a tick mark against one of the partner OA/PI in DEFAULT BOX, it works fine but that does not make any sense as the whole pupose of having multiple OA/PI is to give option to business of selecting one of the avaialble OA/PI.
FYI - I have opened a customer message to SAP, let see what they suggest.
Thanks,
Yogesh
