CRM2007:Change a Business Partner Role or Create a BP with a different role

[Former Member]

Hi - we have created a new role ZADDR and I need to programmatically create about 90,000 BP's from a flat file which I have imported into a Z table.

I have used BAPI_BPCONSUMER_CREATE to create the BP's no problem but they are then in the role CRM006.

I have tried to change the role using BUPA_ROLE_CHANGE but keep getting the message 'NO changes were made'

 
call function 'BUPA_ROLE_CHANGE' 
       exporting 
         iv_partner                   = lv_bpid 
         iv_partnerrole               = 'ZADDR' 
         iv_x_save                    = 'X' 
       tables 
         et_return                    = lt_return 

Can anyone tell me either how I can change the role or create BPs with the role of ZADDR instead of CRM006?

Many thanks - Nigel

• Now we need to set the role

call function 'BUPA_ROLE_ADD_2'

exporting

iv_partner = lv_bpid

iv_partnerrole = 'ZADDR'

tables

et_return = lt_return.
