Integration
Before you can load business partner relationships, the business partners in these relationships must have already been transported into the target system by means of the Transfer Structure for Master Data. Only then can a relationship be created. If the business partner master data for the related business partner has not yet been transferred, an error message is output.
Different attributes are expected, depending on the relationship category, for example the data from the COMPANY_INTEREST component is processed for shareholder relationships.
