How to update a BP without updates to ADRC information?

[Former Member]

Hi,

For EBP 4.0, I am seeing that any update to a BP will cause the Name and Search fields of all related address to be overwritten with the BP Name and Search data. Is there a way to allow a BP update without impacting the related addresses?

Hi

Please go through the related pointers ->

The question 8 of the SAP Note 550071 could be very useful.

Hope this will help.

For complex EBP business requirements, You must develop your own report to create addresses from a flat file. You will create addresses in table ADRC, and must link them to a Business partner (take the company code, like in web interface). Then later on, you can assign those address numbers in PPOMA_BBP attributes, or let the user search those addresses (if they are assigned to user's company).

For this, use FM BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_ADD.

Based on the partner no,you can get the address number for that partner from table BUT020.On this addr no,you can get all the details from the table adrc.

Hope this will help. Do let me know.

Hi Atul,

Many thanks for the quick reply and information. My question is similar to the middle link that you sent me (). I am looking for a way to update a BP without any of it's linked addresses (in table ADRC) to be updated. The reason for this is as follows:

We have already built a custom transaction for users to create delivery addresses and they are automatically assigned to a BP. We need to make an update to this BP and do not want all the delivery addresses to be impacted. In our test environment, any change to the BP causes the address Name and Search fields to be overwritten with the BP Name and Search information.
