Update Business Partner as Bulk

An operation that updates one or more business partners.

The data for each business partner to be updated can be as comprehensive as required. For example, it can include name, address, bank details, employment, rating, financial statement, and credit standing. The operation can be used for business partners of any type, that is, persons, organizations, or groups.

For more information about the business context, see the Business Partner business object.

For each request to update a business partner in the mass bulk request the following information is required:

• The business process chain assignment (BusinessProcessChainAssignment element)

  For more information, see Business Process Chain Assignment.

• An identifier (UUID or InternalID element)

• A list complete transmission indicator for a specific node (e.g.:addressInformationListCompleteTransmissionIndicator)

  When set to true this indicates that all records sent for the specific node are to replace those in the database.
