Please follow the following in order to resolve the above-mentioned error:
1. The fields PARTNERADDRESSES-ADDR_NO and ORDER_PARTNERS-ADDR_LINK are CHAR fields, therefore, they should be only filled with leading zeroes.
2. ORDER_PARTNERRS-ADDR_LINK must contain a temporary number, such as 0000000001 and not a real number of an existing address.
3. Also, enter the address data only in PARTNERADDRESSES.
4. In ORDER_PARTNERS enter only PARTN_ROLE, PARTN_NUMB and ADDR_LINK (the link to the address data in table PARTNERADDRESSES).

The issue you are facing is caused because the Fields in ORDER_PARTNERS and PARTNERADDRESSES must not have been filled correctly.
