External BP number range (&1) is not supported

Message type: E = Error

Message class: MDG_BS_SUPPL_HARM - MDG: messages for harmonization report

Message number: 023

Message text: External BP number range (&1) is not supported



What causes this issue?

With SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 605) (EHP5) the
assignment of BP grouping &v1& that uses external numbering is not
supported by the Vendor UI.
As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 606), these
settings are valid.
In the Vendor UI in EHP5, you only can define the vendor number. The BP
number neither can be maintained nor derived by the system. It must be
internal.


System Response

With EHP5 the Vendor UI cannot use these settings.


How to fix this error?

The settings are valid for the Supplier UI.
If you only use the Vendor UI, you can delete the settings in the
<ZK>Customer/Vendor Integration (CVI)</> Customizing.
