Agent Framework

This operation is connected to the Agent Framework (FS-FND-AF) using agent ID BPRIC.

To ensure a correct version history in the subscribed applications, the agent has to be scheduled to run at least on a daily basis. If the subscribed applications are temporarily unable to process the information, the agent has to be rescheduled to run for every single day using the following agent IDs in the following order:

FS1I0 for operation Inform of Business Partner as Bulk
FS2I0 for this operation
FS3I0 for operation Inform of Business Partner Purpose Completion as Bulk
FS4I0 for operation Inform of Business Partner Purpose Reset as Bulk

If errors occur in the subscribed applications (technical errors or errors that require postprocessing), you need to resolve these before starting the agent with the next agent ID. Otherwise, manual corrections might be necessary.

For more information, see Agent Framework (FS-FND-AF).

Notes on SAP Implementation

Postprocessing of Inconsistent Data

If an information message about new, changed, or deleted business partner relationships was stopped, was incorrect, or was not processed correctly in the receiver system for a different reason, you can clean up inconsistencies in the business partner relationship data. To create new change pointers, you can run the report Select Info About Business Partner and BP Relationship for Sending.

You then use Agent Framework (FS-FND-AF) to read the change pointers and send new information messages.
