Hi,

I'm looking for a BAPI we can use to update BP (cfr T-code BUP2). Did anybody find such a BAPI yet ?

best regards, jan

Hi Jan

SAP has been stingy with BAPIs for BP.  What exactly are you looking to update?

Please advise,

Sigrid

good afternoon Sigrid, Many thanks for responding.

one of our SAP servers recently upgraded to S4 Hana, so I was looking for the most effcient way to update customer details. The first that were brought to our attention were customer mail addresses. So I was hoping do find a BAPI to do so, especially since there will be more parameters to check/update. Since there doesn't seem to be such a BAPI available just yet, I started with transaction scripts based on t-code BUP2:That will do for the time being, though I'm still hoping to find a more efficient way...

this is what that looks like:

the first one to download what's in SAP, I only took the first 4 of 7,

the 2nd one to update thes mail addresses (also the first 4 of 7)

Hi Jan

BAPIs BAPI_ADDRESSORG_GETDETAIL and BAPI_ADDRESSORG_CHANGE will allow you to get and update many of the BP attributes, including Email.  

An example to get the Vendor BP emails would include

LFA1 is Vendor.  I believe KNA1 would work for customer.

Then you will want to focus on BAPIADSMTP for the emails, and BAPICOMREM if you need the remark/note.

For the update, you will want to pass in the correct flag

like 

I built something in a form as a proof point quite some time ago, so don't have this completely working in excel.  It was actually for a Vendor in ECC but I found it works fine in S4 with BPs.  If you want that example, just let me know.

Best Regards,

Sigrid

Hi Jan

Here it is.  Again, it was built for Vendor email maintenance as a simple example with one view in ECC, using those two BAPIs, and it was just to do various actions on each email address, like:

The solution is zipped so that I can attach it built in Evolve 20.x.

Use the Update flag to perform the update, delete or insert.

Hi @jan ketele and @Ketrine Giha

Here's an Excel version.  Again, please test in your system to ensure it's working for you.  One thing to note is that the BAPI doesn't like a mix of Update & Delete with Insert.  I had to separate Insert, but Update & Delete mixes were fine.

Best Regards,

Sigrid
