Vi01 - Issue in conversion of partner function data in VTPA table

Question

Dear All,
In VI01 tcode while creating shipment cost document, system gives error message as see log.
"Item not created because service agent CR not in reference document".
When debug, it is found that system is not converting data of table VTPA from PARVW (SP) to CR in following FM.
SD_SCD_ITEM_INITIALIZE
at line no. 55
* determine relevant partner
  READ TABLE I_REFOBJ-VBPA INTO L_VBPA_WA
                           WITH KEY POSNR = I_TSNUM
                                    PARVW = I_TVFT-PARVW   BINARY SEARCH.
please help if anyone has idea of this type of error.
Thanks in advance,
Rajesh Vasudeva

Answer 1

In general I would focus on the message "Item not created because service agent CR not in reference document"
Do you have any proof that a CR partner is in the reference document? screen shots from document or table?
You probably know that a partner function key is a German abbreviation SP = Spediteur
And in customizing you actually maintain that SP is e.g. CR for carrier in english
Looking at your document you should then see a partner CR, looking into the table you would  see a SP  if the conversion exit is not active in your SE16, or you see a CR if the conversion is activated.
So far the coding does not tell much.
But the message says that a CR partner is missing.
I would suggest you check your customizing to find the relation from the original key to your CR.
then check the reference documents if you have a partner for this role.
