Message number: 016

Message text: Direct posting to partner & is not allowed.



What causes this issue?

You try to perform a partner direct posting. Such a posting is allowed,
only if the partner belongs to the specified venture/equity group. In
the current case, no venture was specified and the system will set the
corporate venture by default. The only valid partner in a corporate
venture is the operator and so posting to partner &V1& is not valid.


System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
