Trying to change Customer Sales Block (AUFSD) using CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAIN

[juan_suros]

I am trying to change the Customer Sales Block field (AUFSD) of an existing customer using the recommended function module CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAIN (See OSS note 2650140). My system is S/4 HANA 1909.

Running the code below, I get no validation nor processing errors and no update happens. The last system error is as follows:

E125(R11): "Business partner 1004199 has not been assigned to any role"

I tried entering a role as commented out below and see no validation nor processing errors and no update happens. The last system error in this case is as follows:

E248(R1): "The local memory does not contain any data for business partner 1004199"

Can anyone advise me on use of this Function Module. Did I miss a key field or something?

  DATA:
    lv_partner  TYPE bu_partner,
    lv_block    TYPE aufsd_v,
    lt_return   TYPE bapiretm,
    lt_validate TYPE mdg_bs_bp_msgmap_t,

Hi Juan,

You want to create a Business Partner in a Customer role but also setting the flag - ensure_create as 'false'.

This would mean that the Customer is not created, only the Business Partner is created.

Now you want to UPDATE the customer (by setting the object task as 'U' which is not there in the system hence the system issues an error - 'Business partner 1004199 has not been assigned to any role'

Do not set the flag ensure_create. You can leave it blank and create the Business Partner in the customer role.

Additionally, the recommended way is to use CL_MD_BP_MAINTAIN=>MAINTAIN to create/update the master data (technically, it is not different from the FM - CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAINTAIN)
