Features

For each business partner relationship to be updated in the bulk request, the following information is mandatory:

  • The indicator for the complete transmission of the shareholder list (shareholderListCompleteTransmissionIndicator element): When set to true, all records sent for the Shareholder node replace those in the database.

  • The indicator for the complete transmission of the other relationship category (otherRelationshipCategoryListCompleteTransmissionIndicator element): When set to true, all records sent for the OtherRelationshipCategory node replace those in the database.

  • The identifier of the change state (ChangeStateID element). It is needed to ensure that updates do not use old, and therefore obsolete, data (optimistic lock concept).

    For more information, see The ChangeStateID in Update Services.

  • The coded representation of the category (CategoryCode element). CategoryCode is used for identification only, it cannot be changed.

  • One of the following three identifiers for the first business partner:
