Hello Jain,
For the above error, please check in the config path
Step 3 above
Cross-Application Components >Master Data Synchronization >Synchronization Control > SynchronizationControl >Synchronization Objects whether the customer has been checked as platform.
If this setting is not there then you need to maintain this.
Let me know if this solved your error.

Jyoti

Hi guys – does any of you have experience in setting up the customer to BP sync when the number range for customers is created as Internal and the same number range for BPs is already in use and created as External?
Hope to hear from you
Thanks
Hello Jyoti,
I have a bit different scenario. I have business partners are created in MDG system. And in S/4 system I want to extend their local information. Means Customer – KNA1 is created and distributed to S/4 and using that business partner now I want to Customer Sales View -KNVV & company code view-KNB1. Is is possible to do this by IDoc DEBMAS? What other option do I have?
When I want to save my customer master data in sales area, there is a message here and I couldn’t save it. Do you know how to solve it?
You can see messages below.
Customer master data could not be updated
(CVI_API-003). See long text.
Thank you
